During an interview with Paul Heyman on the Steve Austin show
podcast, Austin admitted that he would be tempted to return to WWE for a match
against Brock Lesnar.
The two were discussing how Brock has not reached his potential as
a wrestler yet, and when Heyman brought up the idea of Austin returning to face
Brock, Austin said he would have to pause and continue that conversation off the
air. Heyman joked that the news would be the headline coming out of the
show.
Obviously Austin remains tremendously popular, has a good
relationship with WWE, just appeared at WrestleMania 30, and always seems to
leave the door slightly open for one more match. In the past, he has teased that
he would return if the money and situation is right. Of course, Austin is also
49 years old and it remains a question if he can physically handle a return
given his medical history.
Here is what Heyman tweeted:
