WrestleMania weekend has finally arrived, and WWE has confirmed that Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar will be the main event for night 2 on Sunday. Over the last few weeks there’s been a lot of talk about which segment will close night 1 as Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair is rumored for the main event slot, but Steve Austin’s appearance on the KO Show is also rumored for the spot.
During a recent episode of his Hall of Fame podcast Booker T expressed his excitement for Steve Austin’s WrestleMania return, and he also explained why he thinks Stone Cold should close the show.
“I am not going to sit here and say I don’t want to see Ronda and Charlotte in the main event,” he said. “Especially with the Me Too movement going on. I’ll get a lot of trouble for that. But I don’t know, of course, that match is main event caliber, main event material. But we haven’t’ seen Stone Cold Steve Austin for almost 20 years in the squared circle doing something.
“For me, from a promoter’s perspective, if Elvis came back, Elvis would be in the main event. It’s just that simple. If Stone Cold is coming back, you give Stone Cold Steve Austin that respect. More than anything, for what he’s done for the business. If he’s capable of going out and having a match, you let him do it.”
