The legendary WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin has come up with a big revelation on not participating in the much-anticipated WrestleMania 39 that took place last month. The grand WWE event witnessed the appearances of some WWE greats like John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Edge with some other big names.

But still, the fans and experts feel that it would have been much more amazing and a bit grander if the man of spear could have made his presence in the ring. Although Stone Cold himself has now revealed his non-participation during an interview with Sports Illustrated. He also went on to say that he was offered a match by the authorities.

"I met with some people from WWE. We talked about the possibility of me wrestling at WrestleMania 39. The biggest thing in my mind was the presentation and what kind of match it was going to be. Going back to 38, the way the KO thing was presented—I love KO—I turned that down three, four, five times until the creative finally came to what it ended up being," said Stone Cold during the interview with Sports Illustrated.

"But to do a proper match, I’d have to be in off-the-charts shape. I told them, and this is the exact truth, I said, ‘Guys, I’m just fixin’ to go into production on this show, Stone Cold Takes on America, and until we start production, I don’t know what my life looks like. I can’t commit.' Sure enough, there were technical issues before we finished. I was supposed to finish a month before we did," he added later.

Notably, the 58-year-old also admitted that he was not in the required shape and subsequently denied the concept of going for a complete match in WrestleMania 39.
