Steve Austin WWE What

Steve Austin had some great things to say to a WWE superstar who had one of the best matches at WrestleMania 41.

The opening match at WrestleMania 41 Sunday was a triple threat match that saw IYO SKY retain the Women’s World Title in an exciting triple threat match with former champions Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair.

It was such a great match that even the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer gave it five stars on his match rating scale, which is heavy praise, especially since Meltzer had never given a WWE women’s match five stars before that.

WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was involved during all of WrestleMania 41 weekend.

In a video that WWE posted featuring behind-the-scenes footage, Austin told Sky that her match was “killer,” a great match, and very physical. Austin congratulated Sky. They shook hands while Sky thanked Austin, she said she was honored and she thanked Austin for the kind words.

On X/Twitter, Iyo Sky commented on the video, encouraging everyone to follow their dreams.

I would never have imagined five years ago that I would be getting incredibly cool accolades from Stone Cold Steve Austin in the future.

Life is beautiful and WWE is full of dreams.
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!!🥹✨✨

Steve Austin Rejected Logan Paul’s Bizarre Idea

Even though Stone Cold didn’t wrestle at WrestleMania 41, it was an eventful weekend for the Rattlesnake, which included a second Hall of Fame induction for his WrestleMania 13 match with Bret Hart. In addition to that, Steve Austin crashed his ATV into a ringside barricade on the way to the ring, and it knocked a fan down at ringside.

Logan Paul also revealed that he offered Steve Austin $1 million to appear in a Prime bottle to promote Paul’s Prime energy drink, but Austin turned that down.

We offered Steve a million dollars to be in the Prime bottle. He didn’t do it. So instead he ran a poor woman over with an ATV. We offered him a million like bro, do you want to get in this bottle? I don’t think he even considered it for a second. Imagine it, he face-revealed the Prime bottle and it’s Stone Cold?! He could have done anything, which is why it would have worked.

Perhaps if Paul had offered $10 million, then the deal could have happened; however, $1 million wasn’t enough to entice the Rattlesnake to promote Prime in that way.
