Kevin Owens is set to have a confrontation with the legendary “Stone Cold” Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38, and Owens got the wrestling world talking on Monday when he impersonated the Texas Rattlesnake.
Steve Austin’s entrance music kicked off Raw this week, and fans were thrilled until they realized that Austin wasn’t coming out and they were getting KO instead.
Taz recently took to social media to point out that Don Callis recently did something similar during the Revolution pre-show when he came out to Kenny Omega’s entrance music.

A fan pointed out that this type of gag has been pulled on fans long before Omega and Owens did it, and Taz responded by saying that he expected more from a company with “76,000 writers.”
“And Chris Candido came out dressed like me to my music and that was probably mid 90s… obviously it’s not nothing new, but it was just done so recently. I would expect more from a company with 76,000 writers. 🤷🏽♂️”
