Stone Cold Steve Austin came out of retirement to have a match after 19 years. It was a big moment at A&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, as Austin started his wrestling career in Austin. Kevin Owens and Austin closed Day 1 of WrestleMania 38.

They released the match card one day prior to WrestleMania. It was believed that Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey would headline Day 1 WrestleMania this year. However, it was ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ and Kevin Owens who ended up doing so.

However, recently on Ellen Show Ronda Rousey had stated that she and Charlotte are going to the main event of WrestleMania 38 Day 1. But on WrestleMania night, Ronda and Charlotte were the second main event followed by Kevin Owens and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Recently, Tim Jarrell of PWUnlimited posted a tweet regarding Ronda Rousey. It was about Ronda getting furious after finding she will not be main eventing ‘The Showcase of the Immortals’ this year.

The tweet said, “According to Bryan Alvarez, he said Friday when Ronda Rousey found out she was not going on last at #WrestleMania she was furious & walked out. Today she was there & actually did the match.”

It seems Ronda didn’t know about Austin having a match at Mania. As they updated her on this at the last minute, Ronda may be furious for a while with the same.

How many beers did Stone Cold Steve Austin drink during the match?

Stone Cold, after a wild reaction from the crowd, accepted the challenge of Kevin Owens for a No Holds Barred match. It was a nostalgic moment for many WWE fans as they saw their childhood relive again.
