The Texas Rattesnake might be open to wrestle some more matches due to his WrestleMania performance with rumors emerging of John Cena being a possibility. Steve Austin appeared on Complex stating that the 16-time World Champion has been responsible for bring a cultural change to professional wrestling.

“I think the sneaker culture is cool in wrestling, but for me, a traditional guy who started off as a technical wrestler turned into a brawler, it wouldn’t have fit my style … Of course, [John] Cena comes first in my mind when I’m thinking about sneakers in the wrestling game, and he really went over the top with it … And going into the John Cena thing when he started pumping the things up. I was like, Cena’s really working for a sneaker deal here because it turned into a thing, and the crowd got behind it, and he’s one of those guys; what a tremendous career he had, and it affected so many people.”

Stone Cold’s in-ring performance at WrestleMania 38 surely proved that he has a lot left in the tank and the dream match between Austin and Cena, which the fans have been itching to see for years may finally come to fruition.
