WWE icons Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson are still inspirations for many established and aspiring pro wrestlers. One such superstar is AEW’s Thunder Rosa. She compared her recent feud against Britt Baker to the historic WWE rivalry shared by The Rock and Steve Austin.

During an interview on Under The Ring, she said, “Every match that we had, it escalated to the next level… The rivalry that we have, it’s real… Now that I have the title and I took the title from her, is something that is going to end.”

“I think this is like The Rock and Stone Cold [Steve Austin], something similar, or Trish and Lita. Something of that sort. It’s just like I feel like this is never gonna end.”

Austin and The Rock squared off against each other multiple times. They even shared the ring more than once at The Grandest Stage of Them All (WrestleMania 15, WrestleMania 17, and WrestleMania XIX).

Is The Rock the Richest Actor?

Had Stone Cold Steve Austin not retired from in-ring competition in 2003, the WWE Universe could have seen some more matches of this ever-lasting rivalry between The Rock and Austin 3:16.

Where are Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson now?

Stone Cold Steve Austin recently gave a glimpse of his pro wrestling skills to the WWE fans. After almost 19 long years, ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ returned to the ring and had a match against Kevin Owens on Night One of WWE WrestleMania 38.

He also made a shocking appearance again on Night Two and reignited his legendary feud against Vince McMahon by hitting the WWE chairman with a Stunner in the middle of the ring, just like old times.
