History says The Rattlesnake has never sat back when someone has provoked him on the show. Austin appeared on SmackDown two weeks later to take back his four-wheeler which Lesnar had stolen on RAW.
The entire roster was called out to get in Austin’s way by orders of SmackDown! General manager Paul Heyman. However, the entire roster had decided to move aside and let Austin by to confront Lesnar in the ring.
He and Lesnar traded punches with Austin ramming Lesnar headfirst into the steel ring post and attempting to nail Lesnar with the Stone Cold stunner only for Lesnar to escape.
When Did Steve Austin Become “Stone Cold?”
Austin finally got back on his four-wheeler and closed in on the show with his trademark beer bash. This was only the moment when we got to see Austin and Lesnar fight. They both never had a match with each other in their careers.
Why did Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Brock Lesnar never happen?
Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brock Lesnar were on a collision course quite often. While they never fought, they teased fans with a brawl on SmackDown that had the WWE Universe craving to see them share the ring in a 1 on 1 match.
