There weren't many WrestleMania lineup hints dropped during the Elimination Chamber show, but davemeltzerWON says fans should keep an eye out for the return of former champions
On the same day WWE started angling for his return, news began to swirl thatA few years ago, the idea of Austin’s return being overshadowed would have been unthinkable. Rhodes leaving AEW for WWE, on the other hand, wouldn’t have been quite as surprising because this is the wrestling business. But at this point, Rhodes’s departure from AEW, which has become the most successful No. 2 promotion in the U.S in 22 years, caught far more people off guard. And that included almost everyone in AEW.
Austin’s potential return is particularly interesting because he retired in 2003 largely due to neck damage from his years in the ring, most notably from a sit out piledriver in a 1997 match with Owen Hart. He came back to wrestle a few times after the injury and the major neck surgery that followed, but the neck damage led to him calling it quits in early 2003.
In recent years, WWE has been criticized for its inability to create new needle-moving headliners. But what it does have is a long list of stars with great nostalgia value from the past. Owens makes for a safe opponent for Austin. He's a great worker who would have the best shot at making sure Austin can have a good performance. And he's paid well—boasting one of the best contracts in the company—with his role to do strong interviews and in the ring, largely to make others look good.
