"Stone Cold" Steve Austin last wrestled in the main event of WrestleMania 38, coming out of retirement to whoop Kevin Owens in Texas. It was a wild brawl, the kind fans didn't even know if Austin could still pull off at his age. Austin was offered a match for WrestleMania the following year, but turned it down because he couldn't commit due to other endeavors.
