Kevin Owens calls out Steve Austin to appear on the KO Show at WWE WrestleMania 38

Kevin Owens called out ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin to be a guest on the KO Show during the first night of WrestleMania 38.

Tonight’s episode of Raw ended with Kevin Owens coming out saying that he had an idea to get himself on the WrestleMania 38 card. He said he could have the biggest KO Show in history, and determined it had to be someone from Texas. After dismissing names like JBL, Booker T, and Shawn Michaels, Owens ended the show by calling out Austin, saying Austin had likely had let himself go and wanted to drop him. A graphic then appeared, announcing the appearance for WrestleMania Saturday, April 2.

It was later announced on social media that Austin would respond to Owens’ invitation Tuesday at noon ET.

In recent weeks, Owens has been struggling to find ways to get on the WrestleMania 38 card. His efforts earlier on Raw failed, as he and Seth Rollins lost a three-way match for the Raw Tag Team titles involving Alpha Academy and RK-Bro.
