Alternatively, creative could shoehorn Austin in by having him work his typical beer bash segment. That's over with live crowds, and would be an easy way to get the legend involved without actually booking him in a match. It'd also let Miz keep his guest host spot...if that's important to WWE.

Feeding a few lower card acts to Steve would result in Stunners galore, countless "Steveweisers", a few cheeky middle fingers, loads of turnbuckle poses and a happy live audience. Something like this would neatly break up the action in between major matches (it'd be ideal before that Hell In A Cell war between Edge and Finn Bálor, for example) as well.

Think of this or replacing Miz as the absolute minimum WWE should be thinking about for 'Stone Cold' in SoFi. He's capable of doing so much more, of course, but bigwigs might not think there's much of an in-ring spot for him unless somebody pulls out.

Yeah, about that...
