We reported earlier this week here on eWn that WWE reached out to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin regarding the possibility of wrestling another match. The WWE Hall of Famer last competed in a match against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38.
After the Rattlesnake began posting workout videos to his Instagram account, fans began to speculate that he was training for an in-ring return. In his latest video, which you can see below, Austin explained why he’s been training. He said,
“People have been speculating, ‘Hey Steve, what are you doing? What are you training for? Are you training for an event?’ I just simply looked in the mirror and realized I look like sh*t so I called my diet coach up and my macros are currently, give or take, roughly around 2650 calories 300-320 grams of protein, 150 grams of carbs on a regular day, will spike at 420 on a load up. I still drink beer on Friday nights. Get 3 Broken Skull IPAs and that’s pretty much it. I’m probably, as far as body weight goes, sub-232, the leanest I’ve been in forever. Anyway, I’m out. I just got tired of looking in the mirror, I got tired of looking like sh*t, so I’m taking action to do something about it. I gotta go. Catch you down the road.”
The Rock replied in the comments section, writing,
“Maaaan for everyone watching this, let me just say that how Steve is talking here, is exactly how talks in person and why we became brothers. Straight up, direct, no bullsh*t. Good or bad. You’ll always get the real. Keep kicking ass my brother and you know I gotta say it, “thank you for the house’.”
