After weeks of speculation, Kevin Owens laid down a WrestleMania challenge to Stone Cold Steve Austin on the March 7th edition of Raw.
Earlier in the night, Owens and Seth Rollins had been unsuccessful in their quest to capture the Raw Tag Team Titles, leaving KO’s hopes of appearing at WrestleMania 38 in doubt. However, he later returned to the ring to announce that he was going to host the most ‘stupendous KO Show in history’ and proceeded to call out Steve Austin.
In the video accepting the challenge, Austin promised that he would not only meet Owens at WrestleMania, but open up “one last can of whoop-ass” on the former Universal Champion.
“Whether you wanna call this a KO Show, a match, a fight, a brawl, whatever. I will guarantee you this. In Dallas, Texas where I started my career, at WrestleMania, Stone Cold Steve Austin is gonna open up one last can of whoop-ass on you Kevin Owens.
And that’s the bottom line, ’cause Stone Cold said so.”
Steve Austin hasn’t wrestled since being defeated by The Rock At WrestleMania XIX in March 2003.
