Steve Austin Not Planning To Lobby For One More Match

Steve Austin remains open to having one more WWE match, but he's not going to lobby for it.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet for Insight, the WWE Hall of Famer reiterated that he could step back into the ring at a future WrestleMania, but it is not something he is actively pursuing, saying:

"I could (do another match). I'm not necessarily going to lobby for one, because that would be silly. That's a year away, but a year away in this business is like that (clicks fingers). They asked me to be a part of (WrestleMania) 39, they really did, but I couldn't do it, just because there is no way. I knew what my life was going to look like due to the filming schedule of the show. We had some internal stop-downs where the show took about five months to film, that's a long time. We finished filming about five to seven days before WrestleMania 39. And the position that they were going to put me in, which was a big one, you can't prepare for WrestleMania and do yourself justice or do that crowd justice. 

"Dallas was set up for a Stone Cold return, and the way we framed that with KO, who I love, was perfect for the time and setting. For this match to play out, I needed to perform at a high level. I didn't work out before 38, I haven't thrown a working punch in 19 years. I was killing KO right there, I truly was, ask him. When we got to the back, I said, 'Man I can't believe you didn't throw a receipt'. And he just laughed because his job was to just take care of me. So anyway, in the future, I am not lobbying for it, but could anything happen? Yes. Because I say never say never".

Austin recently revealed that he was drinking beer during his WrestleMania 38 match with Kevin Owens because he was blown up.
