Step up Baron Corbin.

As aforementioned, many of WWE's top stars have been hoovered up by other scenarios in time for 'Mania 39. The creative team couldn't afford to sit around waiting for Austin to make his mind up on any of them, in fairness, and they can't be blamed for moving on rapid.

One of Steve's only available spots could be an outright squash vs. one of the roster's stragglers then. Corbin sounds like one of the most likely goons for the role of victim, but others such as Chad Gable, Elias, Hit Row etc would fit that sort of short segment too.

Think back to The Rock squishing Erick Rowan in six seconds at 'Mania 32. It's still crazy that such a bout happened, but it did - Austin might well follow in Dwayne's footsteps by beating his time vs. Baron. Then, he could run through his standard beer-drinking merriment with refs/commentators/fans afterwards.
