Prior to last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, there were a ton of rumors going around suggesting WWE Hall Of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin would be returning to the show given that it was being held in Los Angeles, where he currently resides. The WWE has printing out Los Angeles 3:16 shirts for the event, sparking speculation Austin was returning.
Austin did not appear on the show, instead leaving the attraction of the night duties to The Ball Family. Austin took to his podcast, The Steve Austin Show, to react to last week’s rumors and clear it all up:
“There has been word on the street, on my Twitter account, on all the sheets, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin has indeed been spotted at the Staples Center,” said Austin. “Well I can vouch for you or I can clarify that right now; if somebody thought they spotted me, they was wrong.”
“I’m at 316 gimmick street in Marina del Rey. Staples Center is about 20 miles from my house, I ain’t nowhere in sight, I ain’t wearing camo, you can’t see me, because I ain’t there,” said Austin. “I’m here at the house laying down an open for this damn podcast.”
