Summary

A WrestleVotes Q&A report said WWE has had conversations about potentially bringing Steve Austin to the March 16, 2026 edition of Raw in San Antonio, Texas.

The report described company optimism as a "decent shot" Austin appears, while also noting no guarantee.

The same discussion framed the timing and location as significant because the show falls on 3:16 day during WrestleMania season.

According to the report, this would be Austin's first Raw appearance since before COVID.

Steve Austin and 3:16 day timing could give March 16 Raw a major WrestleMania-season boost

The reported push to get Steve Austin on the March 16 show gives WWE a clear opportunity to spike interest around a date built for his persona, and that consequence could make the episode feel like a tentpole stop on the road to WrestleMania.

Because the same report stresses that Austin's decision is ultimately his own, the short-term effect is heightened anticipation without a confirmed on-air commitment.

Quote from WrestleVotes Q&A excerpt

"We talked to a couple people over the weekend... there have been conversations that I don't want to say WWE has invited Steve Austin to Raw next Monday night on 3:16 day in San Antonio, Texas. But there are people who work for the company that are very hopeful Stone Cold Steve Austin will be on that Monday Night Raw just a week from tonight. You see, you know what I find most interesting? This would be his first Monday Night Raw appearance since before COVID. We're hearing, I'll say, decent shot, he's on the show next week."

WrestleVotes later went on to say:

"They've talked to him. That's the basis of this bonus report."

WrestleVotes later went on to say:

"Well, I mean, the date, the location, it's WrestleMania season. It all makes sense. So, really hope Austin decides to show up, take them up on their offer."
