CM Punk vs. Steve Austin?
WWE fans might see the long-anticipated game with CM Punk as well as Steve Austin following Punk’s return to WWE.
The teaser
The closest the fans were to witness the fight was in the promotion of WWE 13 WWE 13 video game when they did a sit-down segment featuring Jim Ross and exchanged words in character, which can be seen below.
Ausitn was able to come from retirement WrestleMania 38 to wrestle to Kevin Owens, his first since WrestleMania 19 against The Rock in 2003. WWE requested that he compete at WrestleMania 39, however due to the filming schedule in the A&E program at that time, Ausitn decided to pass on the opportunity.
The concept
Sean Ross Sapp of Frightful Select stated that “there were several people in Frightful Select who were pushing for the potential of CM Punk taking on Stone Cold Steve Austin. In fact, we’re informed that Punk was in discussions regarding his possible involvement.”
A lot of people from WWE are optimistic and hopeful that the match can be put together, given that several ideas have been discussed between Punk and WWE. It would be ideal to have Punk sit down with Austin to discuss ideas.
But, the two teams are said to have to work through many hurdles before the match can take place. People who know Austin reported that they’ve never had him speak about any personal problems with Punk that they’ll have to overcome. It’s unclear what the couple needs to address.
