Stone Cold Steve Austin recently sat down with AEW star Chris Jericho, and pressed the record button on another edition of The Broken Skull Session’s. During the interview with Austin, “The Demo-God” talked about a retirement, and gave some insight to when he may retire from wrestling. The first ever AEW World Champion told Austin:
"So, here's the thing, Steve. In 2005, I thought I was done - 15 years ago. In 2015 I just worked house shows; I was the only guy that just worked house shows - no TV. Came back. In 2018, I thought I was done; in 2020. I still feel good. I still can have the best match of the show at any point in time, at any night. The last pay-per-view we had in AEW, Young Bucks vs Jericho and MJF, people said it was the best match on the show. As long as I don't feel like I'm a parody of myself - and this is what you always said, 'I'm never coming back.' If you're not Stone Cold Steve Austin, the way Stone Cold Steve Austin wants to be, the moment I feel I can't do that, I'll be gone. But, right now, I'm in such a great place with all these amazing people and great talent. It's fun. Maybe a year, two years, maybe I'll explode in a puff of dust in a week”.
Jericho also revealed that he plans to continue all of his work outside of the squared circle, once he hangs up his boots.
