After almost 19 years, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin returned to his hometown for a WrestleMania bout after Kevin Owens challenged him on his “KO Show” in an episode from March 2022 on Raw.

The Texas-born superstar and The Prizefighter headlined night one of WrestleMania 38, which took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The match was a No Holds Barred match that saw the former emerge victorious at the end.
