Steve Austin-WrestleMania Update, WWE Hoping for Big Numbers on USA

As reported, it seems as Hulk Hogan will be working against John Cena at WrestleMania 22. The original plan was to have Steve Austin take on the Hulkster. But WWE management belives that the price tag to put that match on would be too high, as both parties would expect a huge payoff. But even recent reports from Jim Ross suggest that Austin will be returning to the squared circle soon.

WWE officials are hoping for a big number from RAW on its debut with USA Networks. This is partly because of the return of Triple H, who by all indications will return to feud with Ric Flair and appearances by Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin. As one source reports, if the rating is not above a 4.0 then WWE will be very disappointed.
