Following Edge’s surprise return at Sunday's Royal Rumble, fans once again turned their attention to Steve Austin and speculated if he could ever make an in-ring come back following his neck injury which forced him into retirement.
On his Podcast, Austin responded to request for his return to the ring:
"Basically you’re asking me, based on Edge’s return, would I consider making a return? No. Whatever Edge is doing has nothing to do with me,” he replied. “I’m done. I’ve already said I’m done.”
“When I see a guy whose kinda had a similar type of neck situation as I had, or neck surgery in general, and to leave the business when he did nine years ago and then come back, I’m like ‘Ok. Man, be careful out there.’ Ya know? Cause I haven’t seen you in action. And we know it’s a very physical business. You can get hurt any time, any way. It can be very dangerous. So just please be careful."
