Here are some additional details on why WWE brought back Steve Austin’s “Stone Cold Podcast” back to the WWE Network. Recently, Austin interviewed Paul Heyman for his latest WWE Network podcast. Vince McMahon reportedly made the decision to bring back Austin’s podcast back to the Network full-time.
However, as a result of the return, WWE wanted Austin’s interviews to be less “insider” interviews and focus more on entertaining conversations. The exception in the Paul Heyman interview was when Heyman brought up a potential match between Brock Lesnar and Steve Austin at WrestleMania next year, which Heyman brought up himself. Other than that, the interview was more of a conversation than behind-the-scenes, insider talk.
