Triple H to bring back Stone Cold Steve Austin as top star’s WrestleMania 42 opponent? Exploring WWE RAW 3:16 possibility
Tonight’s edition of WWE RAW falls on March 16, otherwise known as 3:16 Day, and will emanate from San Antonio, Texas. This seemingly creates the perfect opportunity for Triple H to book Stone Cold Steve Austin to make his first appearance on the red brand in years.
Austin’s legendary glass-shattering entrance is one of the iconic sounds in sports entertainment. As the build-up to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas heats up, fans are buzzing with a familiar and exciting question: Is Stone Cold ready for one more run if he makes his return tonight?
Thanks for the submission!
With this in mind, The Game might consider cooking up something more than just bringing back The Texas Rattlesnake to the promotion. If the veteran eventually appears during tonight’s show, he could be booked as the opponent for the Career Killer Gunther for The Show of Shows in a massive twist.
Over the past year, Gunther has evolved from being known as The Ring General to earning a new reputation as a literal Career Killer. In the meantime, he has defeated and humiliated both legends and rising stars with ruthless efficiency. Most recently, the former World Heavyweight Champion embarrassed Dragon Lee on RAW by unmasking him in the middle of their match.
However, Gunther currently doesn’t have a clear storyline heading into WrestleMania 42. Given this, a showdown with Stone Cold Steve Austin tonight could be a great way for the creative team to shake things up and give him a new direction. That’s not all; it would definitely excite the crowd and create a memorable moment.
While this angle might sound interesting, it is purely speculation at this point. Fans will have to wait until tonight’s episode of WWE RAW to see if this will eventually come to fruition.
Gunther could beat Stone Cold Steve Austin at WWE WrestleMania 42
If Stone Cold Steve Austin does make his return tonight on Monday Night RAW and is eventually scheduled to face Gunther at WrestleMania 42, there’s a strong chance that The Ring General could be booked to defeat the veteran at The Show of Shows.
The Career Killer has experienced a significant push in his career lately. He has sent top WWE legends home and has dominated every ring he steps into. Given this, it’s possible the creative team could also book him to defeat Stone Cold in their potential match at ‘Mania.
If that happens, it would only solidify Gunther’s status as the “Career Killer” and as a huge threat to the rest of the WWE roster. However, this angle too is speculative for now.
