CM Punk’s resurgence in the wrestling scene has sparked speculation about potential dream matchups in his second stint with the promotion. Meanwhile, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin has hinted at the possibility of a showdown with The Second City Saint during his comeback.
In 2022, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin emerged from retirement to headline Night One of WrestleMania 38 against Kevin Owens. Following his victory over The Prizefighter, Austin made a memorable appearance on the second night, delivering stunners to Vince McMahon, Austin Theory, and Pat McAfee.
With The Rock’s recent return igniting excitement among fans, there’s growing anticipation for a potential comeback by the Texas Rattlesnake. During a promotional interview with ESPN for WWE 2K24, Steve Austin entertained the idea of facing CM Punk in the ring, suggesting it would be an intriguing matchup.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for Punk, and I think the feeling’s mutual. So, as long as he can handle a [Stone Cold] Stunner,” Austin quipped. “I consider him a good friend, a great individual, and a talented wrestler with an impressive career. Let’s see what the future holds.”
