Will Stone Cold Steve Austin Show Up Tonight at WrestleMania 41? All the Signs Say Maybe

It’s Night 2 of WrestleMania 41 — and fans are asking: will Stone Cold Steve Austin appear tonight? Here’s the latest on what we know.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is in Las Vegas for WrestleMania weekend and has already appeared at Night 1 as part of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025.

While there’s no official confirmation of an on-screen moment, tonight’s high-stakes main event leaves the door wide open for a surprise.

With rumours of a Rock & Cena vs Cody showdown, John Cena teasing Austin on Instagram, and Austin himself saying, “If Cody needs another hand, I’ll be there,” fans are bracing for a glass-shattering pop at Allegiant Stadium.

Is Stone Cold at WrestleMania 41?

Yes — Stone Cold Steve Austin is in Las Vegas for WrestleMania weekend.

He was confirmed as a special guest at WWE World, the official fan event at the Las Vegas Convention Center, alongside names like CM Punk, Trish Stratus, Cody Rhodes, and The Undertaker.

More significantly, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and even appeared on stage alongside Bret Hart during WrestleMania Night 1.

But what about WrestleMania Night 2 itself?

As of now, Austin is not officially booked for an appearance on-screen tonight — but that hasn’t stopped the speculation.

Austin Inducted Into WWE Hall of Fame This Weekend

Stone Cold was front and centre at Friday night’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, where his legendary WrestleMania 13 match against Bret Hart was inducted into the Hall’s new Immortal Moments category.

Both Austin and Hart appeared on stage to speak — reminding fans that even if he’s not lacing up the boots, he’s very much a part of the WrestleMania 41 weekend.

Will Stone Cold Wrestle Again?

On Friday, Austin appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, and delivered a pretty direct statement about his future in wrestling.

“Don’t get me wrong, I can still whoop some ass, but I’m not looking to get back in the ring at any time in the future because these young cats need something to shoot for,” Austin said. “Stone Cold don’t need to beat nobody’s ass anymore.”

He itted the “competitive side” of him still feels like he’s got something left, but made it clear that he’s not actively looking for another match.

That said, fans know better than to rule anything out completely — especially at WrestleMania.

Could Steve Austin Appear At WrestleMania?

Austin is in the building. WrestleMania is happening. And we know WWE loves a surprise.

While a full match seems unlikely, a cameo or physical moment is still very possible.

In particular, fans are speculating about a blockbuster scenario involving John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and The Rock in Sunday’s main event.

Rumours suggest The Rock may interfere on behalf of Cena. If that happens, a surprise appearance by Austin to neutralise The Rock — reigniting their classic rivalry — would blow the roof off Allegiant Stadium.

Why Wasn’t Stone Cold at WrestleMania 40?

Austin was almost involved in WrestleMania 40 — but reportedly turned down a role due to financial disagreements. WWE had pencilled him in for a key spot in the main event, which ultimately went to The Undertaker.

Even last year, WWE saw Austin as a top-tier WrestleMania attraction — and nothing has changed.

Austin’s History of Surprise Returns

After retiring in 2003, Stone Cold stunned fans with an in-ring return at WrestleMania 38, defeating Kevin Owens in a brutal No Holds Barred match.

He’s been linked to possible roles at every WrestleMania since — and now that the event is in Las Vegas, not far from where he currently lives, many see this as the perfect time for one more surprise.

“It’ll [‘WrestleMania 41] be in Vegas, so I hope to be there.”

“If he [Cody Rhodes] needs another hand, I’ll be there.”

Will Stone Cold Be at WrestleMania Tonight?

Here’s what we know:

• He’s in Las Vegas

• He’s already appeared at WWE World and the Hall of Fame

• He’s open to helping Cody Rhodes

• Cena’s Instagram teases his presence

• WWE loves surprises — especially on Night 2

There’s no official confirmation, but if Stone Cold is going to show up, tonight is the moment. Whether it’s a run-in, a Stunner, or a cold beer toast — keep your eyes on the entrance ramp.

With everything pointing to at least a cameo on Night 2, it wouldn’t be surprising if that iconic glass shatters one more time at Allegiant Stadium.
