Stone Cold Steve Austin salary, net worth and what's next in WWE

Better known for his anti-authority gimmick, Stone Cold Steve Austin was one of the most polarising figures during the Attitude Era of WWE (formerly known as WWF) who made a bigger name for himself by going around flashing middle fingers and handing out stunners to whomever that he would deem fit. Steve Austin has been away from active in-ring competitions ever since his last official bout against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at WrestleMania 19 over 16 years ago.

What is next for Stone Cold Steve Austin?

Sure, Steve Austin makes special appearances to the ring on numerous occasions, but his fight against The Rock was officially his last as a competitor and the last time he wore a pair of trunks on WWE programming. Though he had recently expressed interest in a potential last fight with the WWE, it has been reported that his return is very unlikely.

While there is still a glimmer of hope of seeing Steve Austin in a pair of trunks, only time will tell if the Rattle Snake ever competes in the WWE ring again.
