Stone Cold Steve Austin WWE return: 'Rattlesnake' to lock horns with CM Punk at SummerSlam? All we know
Stone Cold Steve Austin WWE return: Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the biggest names in the history of professional wrestling. The 'Rattlesnake' was a force to reckon with during the Attitude Era alongside The Rock. He hasn't laced up his boots since WrestleMania 38 where he defeated Kevin Owens in an impromptu match. However, it seems that this may change soon. Stone Cold Steve Austin to take on CM Punk? Stone Cold Steve Austin, a WWE Hall of Famer, is apparently keen to get back in the ring for 'one last match'. According to Wrestlevotes, The iconic brawler told several people during the WrestleMania 41 weekend that 'he might have one more in him'. The report also suggested that some names have already been pitched for the potential match with CM Punk being one of them. 'The Second City Saint' and Austin have never squared off in the ring before. However, they did an interaction on Raw many years ago. The two have often been compared because of their remarkable 'pipebombs' and anti-establishment personas. During his prime, Austin feuded with WWE owner Vince McMahon's faction. Similarly, CM Punk feuded with HHH and his faction 'The Authority'. This alone makes a Punk-Austin match a dream affair. Will the Austin-Punk match happen at SummerSlam? WWE will soon be on the road to SummerSlam, slated to take place this August. It is one of the 'big 4' Premium Live Events (PLEs) alongside WrestleMania, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble. Given its scale, it may just be the ideal platform for the two to lock horns. However, WWE may not be able to go down this route as there isn't enough time to build the feud. Additionally, Punk would have to turn heel for the feud to make sense. .And, this would hardly make sense since he is currently Raw's top babyface and involved in a feud with Seth Rollins's faction. However, the WWE could target Survivor Series (in November) for the feud. This would give them time to turn Punk into a corporate heel, something that was teased on SmackDown ahead of Night of Champions, and take on Austin. That said, these angles are purely hypothetical at this time. What happened in CM Punk's match at Night of Champions? John Cena defeated CM Punk at Night of Champions in a keenly contested match for the former's Undisputed Championship. The contest, however, was not a clean one as Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Penta, and Sami Zayn got involved. In the end, 'The Visionary' cost Punk the match and added a new dimension to their bitter feud.

The art of not giving a f*** about Donald Trump
In the summer of 2006, Stone Cold Steve Austin, appearing as a special guest referee, celebrated Donald Trump's victory over WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in the 'Battle of the Billionaires' in his traditional beer-chugging came his sneaky, legendary Stunner on Trump, setting the WrestleMania stage — and an entire generation — ablaze with one unforgettable two decades later, not much has changed for Trump. From a real estate developer and reality TV star, he has graduated to the Oval Office — which he runs, as many would point out, like Hollywood on To top it all off, he received a figurative 'Stunner' from his "tremendous friend" Bibi, who pushed him to blurt out, "They don't know what the f*** they're doing," shortly after Iran and Israel launched attacks against each other — completely against Trump's wishes — just after he had celebrated what he called a "total ceasefire" to end the 12-day war between the two West Asian was left visibly sulking, thundering, "Do you understand that?" after spitting out the moments earlier, it was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu who had rejected Trump's request to hold off on bombing Tehran, stating he would proceed with the attack in response to Iran breaking the truce, according to a report by Axios citing an Israeli official.A grand display of the art of not giving a f*** about CEASEFIRE, AND THEN, A PUBLIC MELTDOWNadvertisementAfter dropping the F-bomb in front of the cameras, a visibly furious Trump retired to his chopper. It was a long, dreary walk, the MAGA hat hanging loosely in his had been a long, exhausting day for Trump as well — one that began as a step closer to his Nobel Peace Prize dream. Hope, expectations, and disappointment gave way to despair, and then a flicker of renewed optimism — much of it playing out in real time on his Truth Social as he had done in the case of India and Pakistan, Trump rushed to announce a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. This time, he kicked it off with a dramatic curtain-raiser: "CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT'S TIME FOR PEACE!"Two hours later, he disclosed the phased ceasefire "deal" for both sides. What followed was a stream of posters featuring Trump in various poses, celebrating "peace" — sometimes paired with "harmony," other times with "strength." He also claimed that both Iran and Israel had come to him "simultaneously" seeking thanking the B-2 stealth bomber pilots who, over the weekend, dropped bunker-buster bombs on Iran's most prized and secure Fordow enrichment facility at the heart of its nuclear ambitions, Trump reminded both Iran and Israel about "the deal."advertisement"THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"Then came the meltdown, as his "complete and total ceasefire" began to before dropping the F bomb, Trump wrote on his Truth Social: "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."To set the context — while Trump was in the middle of his celebration spree, Iran claimed there was no deal. Then came a hint of one, which was followed by four waves of attacks on Israel. Eventually, Iran announced that a deal was underway, and they would seize fire if Israel abstains from any further after, Israel claimed it was under attack from Iran — a claim Tehran denied. This prompted Israel to launch its own strike on Iran, much to Trump's dismay. After all, he was out on Truth Social, painting the town instructing Israeli fighter jets to 'turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'Plane Wave' to Iran", Trump accused both countries of violating the truce he had eventuality of both countries not giving a f*** about his "plan" led him to say, 'We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing."As he boarded his jet to the Netherlands to attend a NATO summit, Trump left hoping the flimsy ceasefire he had brokered would hold in the days to come."Heading to NATO where, at worst, it will be a much calmer period than what I just went through with Israel and Iran. I look forward to seeing all of my very good European friends, and others. Hopefully, much will be accomplished!," he wrote on Truth Social.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Ross said, 'We did Raw in Phoenix, Arizona, then the next night it was a SmackDown taping, so it's about 100 miles. And we drank—even when we were just tasting this wine—we did. We broke every law imaginable. Driving 100 miles an hour, we had open containers, drank two bottles of wine in like an hour or something on the drive, and we got really s***faced.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Furthermore, Ross also stated that he has not tasted wine since that incident with Steve Austin and added that he could no longer even stand the smell of it.

Fan-Favorite Wrestler May Be Leaving AEW: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The future of the very nice, very evil Danhausen with AEW and ROH is in serious doubt, as his contract is reportedly set to expire in July 2025. According to a new report from Fightful Select, there have been no creative plans for the fan-favorite star since his surprise return at ROH Final Battle in December 2024. While the promotion could potentially add time to his deal due to his previous injury, the report notes this would be surprising given his prolonged absence from television. Following his return at Final Battle from a torn pectoral muscle, both Danhausen and others backstage were reportedly under the impression he would be factored back into storylines. However, after he reached out to the company multiple times, he was told there were no plans for him. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation No Direction for Danhausen The site added that as of now, there are still no known creative plans for him on either AEW or ROH programming. This follows a previous Fightful report from November 2024, which stated that Danhausen and AEW had not been in regular contact for over six months at that time. It was also noted that plans for his return from injury were changed, which caused him to express frustration directly to AEW President Tony Khan. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. Courtesy of AEW That same report also revealed that ideas had been pitched to bring Danhausen back into the fold, including one from top star Bryan Danielson. However, none of these pitches ever came to fruition on screen. Danhausen's AEW Tenure While he has been absent from AEW television, Danhausen has remained active on the independent wrestling scene. Despite his interest in returning to AEW, he has also prioritized indie bookings and made adjustments to his schedule for family-related reasons. It will be interesting to see where he goes if he does end up leaving. There have been no indications that AEW has big plans for him. To Danhausen's credit, he has stayed quiet publicly about his status and not complained about not being used via social media. Not everyone takes that approach, as there are pros and cons to every situation. Perhaps a MLW or TNA Wrestling would be a better fit for him than AEW or WWE.
