WWE still hasn't given up on Stone Cold Steve Austin appearing at WWE WrestleMania.

The 58-year old Stone Cold Steve Austin came out of a nearly 20-year retirement last year to main event WrestleMania night 1 with Kevin Owens.

We've been told and reported that multiple pitches have been made to Steve Austin since last year. WWE sources believe he's been open minded to the possibility of wrestling another match for the right situation and right money, but the offers so far haven't seemed like either of those. Sources familiar with the situation told us that Austin was pitched a match with Brock Lesnar last summer or fall, but the money associated was a non-starter. Later on, Austin was offered a significantly higher amount to possibly face Roman Reigns, and we're just told he didn't get back to WWE on it.

Of late, we've heard that a very in-shape Steve Austin was made additional pitches to get on the show, but not for necessarily marquee matches. LA Knight was a name rumored online, and we can confirm that's at least been pitched. However, nobody close to Austin or in WWE have been able to verify that it's happening as of yet.

Steve Austin is scheduled to do some WWE-related promotional work for WWE 2K soon.
