Stone Cold Steve Austin Says He Would Entertain Offers But Doesn’t Want A Full Time WWE Gig

Stone Cold Steve Austin is happy with how his schedule works out at this time.

Austin returned to the ring at WrestleMania 38 to defeat Kevin Owens and since the match, many have speculated and reported on if Austin would compete again, primarily with regard to WrestleMania 39. Of course, this did not happen, but Austin has not closed the door on another match.

One thing Austin will close the door on is a possible full time gig with WWE.

Speaking to Jimmy Traina on the SI Media podcast, Austin was asked if he would ever consider returning to WWE as an announcer or manager.

“Right now, off the top of my head, I say no, because I don’t want to put the time into living my life back on the road again. I rode that road hard. I loved that lifestyle, I worked my ass off, I put my body on the line, and I ran hard. Now, I’m at a place where I’m still living life. I started racing due to the fact that I met some people on the show and started racing. I work with Kawasaki Motorsports, that’s about as much traveling as I want to do is going to races on weekends and stuff like that. I’m happy where I’m at. I will always entertain any kind of business offer, but I spent enough time on the road and I’m just picking and choosing. I still want to work and I still want to be productive. I’m in the beer business. I have three beers with El Segundo Brewing Company, I work with Kawasaki, and I’ve got some other private ventures that I’m into. I don’t want to get out on the road again. I’ve been there and I’ve done it, and I ran hard,”

We will have to wait and see if Austin will one day return to WWE for a full time gig but for now, Steve is happy with his semi retired status.
