“Stone Cold” Steve Austin recently shared a video on social media that led fans to speculate that he might make an appearance at Royal Rumble.

The 58-year-old is no stranger to making sporadic appearances on WWE Premium Live Events. Even after retirement, The Texas Rattlesnake returns to WWE now and then. Austin returned for a match with Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38 last year.

The Bionic Redneck was last seen in action at WrestleMania 38. It was against Kevin Owens. KO had challenged the 6-Time WWF Champion for a No-Holds-Barred Match and The Paranoid Rattlesnake took no time to accept it.

Though the 4-Time WWF Tag Team Champion was back after a 19-year hiatus, the long break had no effect on Austin’s performance. The Texas Rattlesnake managed to pull out two stunners on KO, giving him the victory over The Prizefighter.
