Stone Cold Steve Austin Reveals He Recently Underwent Major Surgery, Competing In Another Sport

It had to be done. There are all kinds of injuries that can take their toll of a wrestler over the course of their career. At the same time, there are some that build up over time and are not going to be dealt with until after a wrestler is done in the ring. That appears to be the case again, as one of the biggest names in wrestling history has undergone a rather major operation.

WWE Hall Of Famer Steve Austin has revealed that he is seven weeks removed from undergoing a total left knee replacement. Austin said that he had been putting off the surgery for years and his post operation x-rays show things healing nicely. He also revealed that he had attempted to walk on the knee too soon, as the healing process could take an entire year. Austin also said that he is hoping to compete in the Mint 400 Desert Off Road Race near Las Vegas in another seven weeks. There is nothing to indicate that Austin is planning on wrestling again. His most recent match took place at WrestleMania 38 in 2022.

Austin is a legend for a reason. Check out some of what banged up his knee in the first place:

Opinion: This is one of those things that had to happen at some point as Austin’s knees had been a major problem for a long time. The good thing is that he has undergone the surgery and taken a major step towards improving his quality of life. At the end of the day, that is one of the best things he could have done, as that knee will be so much better for him for such a long time to come.
