10 Most Shocking WrestleMania 31 Moments

9. No Steve Austin

The Rock was at Wrestlemania, and so was Hulk Hogan, too. However, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin wasn't there, and next year, Wrestlemania's in Texas. Austin's omission from 2015's Wrestlemania proceedings likely means that he's not likely to put on the black boots and tights next year. In thinking that the only "money" match he may have had was against CM Punk (and now that's not possible), maybe he's decided it's best to keep the gear in the closet next year. But, man it would've been fun to hear the glass shatter last night. It was generally a great show overall, but one can only imagine that would've a segment over-the-top.
