Acknowledge What? WWE Pitches Steve Austin vs. Roman Reigns

That’s a bit one. Roman Reigns has held the WWE Undisputed Title for two and a half years and there is nothing to suggest that he is going to be losing the title anytime soon. Unfortunately this has led to Reigns having almost no credible challengers left. WWE has brought in some legends to challenge Reigns, and now it seems that WWE has tried to find another such to go after the title.

According to Fightful Select, WWE pitched a match between Roman Reigns and Steve Austin for WrestleMania 39. There is no word as to whether or not Austin accepted the offer, though the money offered was said to be “enormous”. Another source said that Austin had another major name pitched to him as well. Austin returned to the ring or the first time in nineteen years last year at WrestleMania 38, defeating Kevin Owens.

This would have been big. Check out the two in action:

Opinion: That is the kind of match that would be a huge showdown and it seems that there is still a chance that we could see it happen. Reigns is the kind of star who needs a special challenger to come after his title, but I’m not sure how well it would go for Austin. If nothing else, it is great to believe that Austin could wrestle again, and we might be seeing him get in the ring one more time. The fact that it might be against Reigns is all the more amazing.
