Stone Cold Steve Austin talks about facing The Rock in 2021

The ‘Texas Rattlesnake’ joined A Little Late with Lilly Singh recently where host Lilly Singh asked Austin who would win a match between him and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in 2021.

“Man, if you’re asking me, it’s gonna be Stone Cold Steve Austin, cause I would walk in there, stomp a mudhole in his a**, and walk out dry. See Rock’s been out there making all these movies. He’s the number one movie star in the world, and I know he’s been in the gym, but, man, I’m still pretty hard; I’m pretty salty.”
