WWE Royal Rumble 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

1. ‘Stone Cold’ Is Just Another Wrestler

It still feels weird to type things like, 'Steve Austin wrestled Kevin Owens at 'Mania 38'. It happened though, and it was actually very, very fun. Recent reports say WWE offered a bout with Roman Reigns to 'Stone Cold' next, and there are rumours that he'll be one of the 30 in Saturday's Royal Rumble match.

Mr. 3:16 probs ain't winning the thing though, which means he'd become "just another" entrant in the match. Ask yourself this: Does anybody really want to see Austin be "just another" anything, especially after the success of his in-ring return in 2022? He's one of the biggest box office attractions ever.

'Stone Cold' doesn't make up numbers.

This next statement might not go down well with everyone, but here goes. This fan would rather he wasn't in Texas at all if Austin was only getting 10 minutes of cameo ring time before being eliminated. Granted, he didn't feel that way before, but thinking about it has changed minds!
