“Stone Cold” Steve Austin will not be part of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas on April 19-20, according to a recent report.
Fightful Select reports that WWE has not pitched any match or angle for the WWE Hall of Famer. Austin will be in Las Vegas for photo opportunities and signings at WWE World, but his December knee replacement surgery prevents him from getting physical.
Austin’s last match occurred at WrestleMania 38 Night One in 2022, where he defeated Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This marked his return to in-ring competition after a 19-year absence.
Austin has previously stated he would compete again if circumstances aligned properly. During a recent interview, Austin revealed he is still recovering from his knee replacement procedure, noting the surgery was long overdue but has improved his health and eliminated pain.
The report indicates Austin’s physical limitations from the recent surgery make any in-ring appearance impossible for the upcoming premium live event.
