WrestleMania Rumors: 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's WWE WrestleMania 38 Match Locked In!

Austin is expected to have a "physical role" at a minimum at WrestleMania 38. ## As noted, Fightful Select reported earlier this week that WWE had "made a significant overture" to convince Austin to wrestle what would be his first match since March 2003. Owens was immediately speculated as an opponent, with further fuel thrown on the fire when KO cut a promo insulting Austin's home state of Texas on this week's episode of Raw. ## Per Dave Meltzer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Austin vs. Kevin Owens is now "on the card" for the 2/3 April event, though there's currently no word which night the match will take place on. ## It should be noted that There’s apparently one more surprise, besides Austin, still to come. It’s supposed to be Austin-level, and that’s a pretty small list of people that can be Austin-level. We could get to see Hogan, Flair and Undertaker, The Rock, John Cena and more. ## WrestleMania 38 will be a two-night event at AT&T Stadium in Dallas which will go on to set a new record for the most stadium events in a year for WWE. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Report: Vince McMahon Planning To Give Cody Rhodes A Major Match At WrestleMania

Since Cody's AEW departure, a lot of reports have surfaced on the internet, apparently hinting at a return to WWE. ## According to Wade Keller of PWTorch, WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon is planning to give Cody Rhodes “a major match at WrestleMania” if Rhodes were to return to WWE. ## On his latest audio show, Keller noted how McMahon views Rhodes’ AEW exit “as a big deal” and wants to treat it accordingly. ## “Cody and WWE haven’t confirmed it but Cody is going to WWE and he’s going to get a big push,” Keller said. “Vince McMahon is going to treat this as a big deal. Everybody I talked to thinks Vince loves the idea of acquiring a co-founder and EVP and, you know, main event wrestler. He just held their secondary singles title not that long ago, and having him show up on WWE TV is something that Vince is very interested in taking advantage of and making money on it. It could even be a situation where Cody is in a major match at WrestleMania.” ## “I fully expect Cody to be on WrestleMania either as a wrestler or making his first appearance,” Keller said. “I don’t know if they can hold back on putting him on TV so I could even see him appearing on Raw or SmackDown next week. I’m not aware of there being any kind of non-compete at this point since he’s been a free agent for a while so Cody could appear. I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s even some augmentation to the booking plans for WrestleMania perhaps related to the Elimination Chamber in order to set the stage for Cody to do something really big at WrestleMania.” ## Keller continued, “I think Cody will get a big push, at least at first. You know, there’s different opinions on whether Vince is going to resent Cody for creating competition or admire Cody for his entrepreneurial spirit and being classy about it the whole way. You know, Paul Heyman, Eric Bischoff, Jeff Jarrett, they all competed with Vince [and] they all got jobs again. So, you know, we’ll, we’ll see how it goes. Vince saw Cody as a mid-carder. He saw Christian as a mid-carder. Christian went to Impact Wrestling and won a world title…He came back, he got a better push, but it wasn’t at the level of Edge, which is what, you know, Christian always wanted. He wanted to be at the Edge level.” ## H/T: WrestlingINC ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Update On Cody Rhodes AEW Departure, Rhodes To The Top, More

The wrestling fans were taken aback when AEW announced that Cody Rhodes and Brandi Rhodes have officially parted ways with the company. ## One of our trusted sources, Fightful was able to confirm Cody and Brandi Rhodes AEW departure. ## In an update on the Cody and Brandi Rhodes AEW departure, the locker room began talking last Wednesday, when neither were seen in Atlantic City for AEW Dynamite. Leading up to that, many talent were suspicious that Cody Rhodes' entire contract situation had been a work, with a lot of question marks regarding the legitimacy. ## However, they came to realize that the situation was real. It became clear to a few by Friday that a deal likely wouldn't be reached, per FightFul. ## Some had reached out to Cody over the weekend, but the situation was downplayed, and the word of him leaving was conjecture, and he was simply negotiating. Rhodes claimed he loved working with AEW and Tony Khan. There are several production employees in AEW who were partial to working with Cody Rhodes, as he went to bat for them within the company. ## Per the report, Rhodes to the Top would be returning for a second season. Talents within AEW have not seen any filming for the program taking place of late. There are hopes that other wrestlers can be featured on reality programs, with Darby Allin being filmed of late. ## There hasn't been any confirmation on any non-compete attached to an EVP separation, but Cody's deal expired at the end of December. Rhodes' team has spoken with WWE, who were aware that the AEW departure announcement would be coming at 10 AM. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Report: WWE Making Overtures Towards Stone Cold Steve Austin For WrestleMania Match

Per FightFul Select, WWE is making overtures towards Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WrestleMania match. ## In a shocking move, WWE backstage chatter suggests that WWE is going to attempt to get Stone Cold Steve Austin for a match at WrestleMania 38, per the report. ## WWE has made a significant overture towards one of the biggest draws in WWE history "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for an in-ring return at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas. Austin has not wrestled in 19 years, with his last match taking place at WrestleMania 19. Since then, many WWE Superstars have tried to conjure Austin out of retirement, but it hasn't happened out of yet. ## WWE have had a range of responses, from being coy to saying they assume it will happen. At the very least Austin is expected for a physical role. Kevin Owens was being set up for that role based on his anti-Texas angle on Raw, but that was far from confirmed either. ## However, there isn't a potential opponent for Steve Austin, or if any real progress has been made. This was the story heavily teased with cryptic tweets in wrestling media throughout the day. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
