Stone Cold Steve Austin

At this time, the rumored main event match for WrestleMania 30 is off. The main event would have seen a heel Triple H battling Vince McMahon for power of the WWE, with Austin representing McMahon.

While the reason for the change is not known, one reason may be that they may be changing roles and that The Rock will represent Vince McMahon but that is not a guarantee. Another reason is that the Austin scenario was never a lock and just a hope by some in WWE creative.

The original direction would have seen Vince, Stephanie and Triple H unite at SummerSlam before splitting up again later in the year with Triple H making a heel turn. Now things look to be heading towards a slower build, with the culmination still being at WrestleMania 30.

Relativamente à possibilidade de Steve Austin fazer uma aparição na Wrestlemania XXX, diz-se que se tal acontecer, não será para lutar. No passado, Austin discutiu a possibilidade de lutar com CM Punk, mas para a Wrestlemania XXX, Punk já tem Triple H como adversário.

De acordo com os rumores que correm dentro da companhia, Austin não se tem mostrado inclinado a lutar este ano, devido à sua idade, o que poderá arrasar definitivamente com a hipótese de Austin alguma vez voltar a lutar.

Steve Austin disse ao F4W que aproveitou a participação no lançamento do WWE Network em Las Vegas para ouvir potenciais ideias e shows para ele participar no canal.

Roddy Piper foi o convidado do podcast de Steve Austin e foi questionado sobre os rumores de Piper vs. Hulk Hogan na WrestleMania XXX. Piper disse:

"This is WrestleMania 30. I've pinned Hogan once and he's never pinned me. From a fan's perspective, and WWE Universe and Vince, it never had closure. The business that would be done, the interviews and stuff would be coming from the heart. We could try to outraise the bar of the WWE entertainment machine in our sport, if they let us go toe to toe and don't script us. The fans will see really how it got started and why, and then they'll see the conclusion. They are asking can I get in shape. I am already in shape! They are asking Hogan. But there is a fear, I guess, of whether we can pull off the performance."

No final do dia, Austin fez uso do twitter para negar o report. Austin disse: "Jesus Christ. Come on guys. Total. Bullshit. Story. You're better than this. I think.."

"I was actually a bit [ticked] off that I had to be there, because I had just gotten back from Texas, I was out of shape, I hadn’t really unpacked my bags from being at the ranch for two months. But I was so proud and happy that I went. Way back in the day when I started out in 1990, I would have never envisioned that the business would ever turn to this or someone would have the vision to do it. Vince McMahon was standing right in front of me, about two feet away, and I slapped him on the back two times and I said, “That’s impressive.” And I left that thing being extremely impressed with what WWE has come up with now."

Austin disse que ninguém falou com ele no RAW em Los Angeles sobre uma participação na WrestleMania XXX.

Austin disse que a streak de Undertaker não vai terminar e tanto Austin como JR disseram que o combate de despedida de Undertaker deverá ser na sua terra natal contra John Cena.

Austin mencionou que não anunciou a sua aposentação na WrestleMania 19 pois não seria bom para os negócios naquela altura.
