WWE WrestleMania 38: 10 Things That Must Happen

5. The KO Show Is Short (-ish)

Kevin Owens, match or not, is one of the biggest talking points heading into 'Mania 38. That has to feel good for the guy; five years ago, KO received pelters from Vince for his match vs. Chris Jericho at 33. Fast forward to 2022 and he's been handpicked to welcome Steve f*cking Austin back into the WWE fold.

The 'KO Show' will be solid so long as it doesn't drag on and on and on.

Remember those old, "Arrive. Raise Hell. Leave" t-shirts that Austin once sported? That's all that needs to really happen on Saturday night. Owens will boot things off by being a smart arse, then the glass will break, AT&T Stadium will lose it, 'Stone Cold' will march out, he'll hit a Stunner then down some beers.

WWE can make this a winner without giving too much physicality away. Nobody's expecting Austin to run the ropes or work some holds here. That, if negotiations go well and Steve is happy to, can come in the future when he's actually wrestling again.
