Steve Austin vs. John Cena.
It would have been a "real highlight."
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin echoed this sentiment when discussing his thoughts on the match that never happened during a recent appearance on the Out Of Character podcast.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On how working with John Cena would have been a highlight for his career: "Working with him would have been a real highlight, and I’ve had a bunch of highlights. It would have been a real special thing. There is something about John. People are so invested in his matches. He’s a very special talent. It would have been great to have a match with him. Will it ever happen? No. I think very highly of John and I love him."
On whether there were pitches for him to come back and wrestle Cena: "No, not really. Names have always been tossed around in conversation and stuff like that. I said I was never going to really wrestle again, unless, because you never say never, unless the stars aligned properly. They did to work with KO [Kevin Owens] in Dallas, so we did that. It wasn’t really put out, ‘it’s going to be a highly competitive match.’ You weren’t expecting us to go 30 minutes. I think we exceeded the expectations and it worked for that time and place. I’m good."
