Theories
Unexpected Ally Could Join Cody Rhodes Against John Cena at WrestleMania 41
WWE icon Stone Cold Steve Austin could potentially return after 1,112 days at WrestleMania 41 to support Cody Rhodes against The Rock and John Cena.

Cody Rhodes faces significant challenges at WrestleMania 41 after John Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber and joined forces with The Rock. Rhodes now finds himself at a numerical disadvantage against the powerful duo heading into The Showcase of The Immortals.
Stone Cold Steve Austin could potentially return after 1,112 days to help Rhodes counter this alliance. The Hall of Famer last appeared in WWE when he faced Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38 in 2022.
WWE has subtly fueled speculation regarding this possibility by officially announcing Austin’s appearance at World in Las Vegas during WrestleMania weekend. This scheduling has been interpreted by some as a hint toward a potential role for Austin at the premium live event.
During an appearance on The Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez last year, Austin expressed willingness to participate at WrestleMania 41 if Rhodes needed assistance.
This proposed angle currently remains speculative with no official confirmation from WWE.
