WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin has seemingly made a big announcement, sending the WWE Universe buzzing louder than ever before. A few must be wondering whether it is about the in-ring comeback
from the legend, probably in Saudi Arabia at WrestleMania 43 in just under two years. However, the reply to the fan on the post is actually about the resurrection of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions podcast, which could come back after 2022.
The tease unfolded on Instagram earlier this week when a devoted fan slid into Austin's comments, pleading, “Any new Broken Skull Sessions episodes coming soon, Stone Cold?” Without missing a beat, the Rattlesnake fired back: “Give me a couple of weeks.” Broken Skull Sessions launched in 2019 as WWE Network's crown jewel of interview shows. Hosted by the six-time WWE Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin himself, the series ditched scripted promos for raw, unfiltered conversations with wrestling's elite. Austin, glass of Broken Skull IPA in hand, grilled guests on career highs, personal demons, and backstage beefs.
Wrestlers like Undertaker, Edge and Becky Lynch featured in the Broken Skulls Sessions podcast
Episodes featuring The Undertaker (diving deep into his Deadman persona), Edge (post-retirement redemption arc), and Becky Lynch (breaking barriers in a male-dominated world) reportedly racked up millions of views. But new episodes halted in 2022 after just 25 installments. Reportedly there was no official explanation, though insiders point to Austin's packed schedule: promoting his USA Network show Straight Up Steve Austin, expanding his Broken Skull whiskey empire, and occasional WWE pops like his WrestleMania 38 triumph at the expense of Kevin Owens in Dallas.
Reports claim that John Cena, tying into his Hollywood farewell tour, or Roman Reigns, unpacking the Bloodline saga can be among the first ones to appear on the Steve Austin’s show which blended podcast vibes with WWE storytelling. However, another in-ring miracle from the man who stunned the world at WrestleMania 38 is speculated.
Austin hung up his boots in 2003 after a tearjerker clash with The Rock at WrestleMania XIX. Knee surgeries, neck fusions, and a lifetime of hardcore bumps had reportedly taken their toll. But when paired with Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred beatdown, reports claim that Austin didn't just appear; he performed. Stunners flew, beer trucks rolled, and at 57, he suplexed KO through an announce table like it was 1998.
