Overview
- Austin told Insight with Chris Van Vliet he feels physically capable of one more match, adding he is not advocating for a bout and offered a cautious "never say never."
- He said last year’s total knee replacement relieved years of pain and improved his activity level after chronic arthritis left him limping.
- Reflecting on WrestleMania 38, Austin praised Kevin Owens as a future Hall of Famer and regretted not having his prime timing for their 2022 match.
- He explained he skipped WrestleMania 40 because plans and timing didn’t align and he had other commitments despite WWE pitching an appearance.
- On missed dream matches, he noted Punk was teased around the time of his ACL/PCL surgery and said a Goldberg bout was pitched early in Goldberg’s WWE run but never materialized; he also called John Cena’s 2025 heel turn "okay" and said he prefers Cena as a babyface this late in his career.
