Former WWE personality Vince Russo has brought to light an issue in the feud between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kevin Owens. He thinks fans may become irate if the company teases Austin’s in-ring return and doesn’t deliver on the same later. WWE has yet to unveil if Austin will actually wrestle at WrestleMania 38. In The Texas Rattlesnake’s recent promo, he teased a match or a brawl with Owens while also talking about being visible on The KO Show.
Vince Russo, on The Bro Show, said that fans could get infuriated if WWE teases a match between Austin and Owens, only to then book a segment between the two at WrestleMania.
“Here’s the mistake they’re making. The Owens challenge was for The KO Show. That was a challenge. Austin saying, ‘I don’t care if it’s a wrestling match, I don’t care if…,’ it’s the bait and switch and they’re going to pi*s some people off. Because if Austin was going to wrestle and we’re just a couple of weeks from WrestleMania, Austin is saying, ‘Screw The KO Show, let’s have match.’ But when he’s saying, ‘I don’t care if it’s a match,’ they want people to believe it’s going to be a match. I’m telling you, if they lead people down that road and it’s a KO segment and he gets the Stunner, they’re going to pi*s a lot of people off. And, to me, that’s exactly what they’re doing,” said Russo.
“You set it up where it’s Austin and Cody against Seth and Owens. They take Austin out in the back.” Russo continued, “Now Cody’s gotta be the babyface in a handicap match fighting from underneath. At the right time, they break the [glass].” he further said.
