WWE Hall of Famer ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin recently spoke to ESPN about a slew of moments from his long and illustrious career. One of the other topics that came up in conversation was WWE Backstage analyst CM Punk. Austin vs Punk was one of the ‘dream matches’ that was discussed by fans for years but unfortunately never came to fruition.

Stone Cold speculated on whether Punk could return to the ring for WWE in future. “Pure speculation, but he’s certainly young enough and in good enough shape to do it,” Austin stated. “I know that he’s still doing his MMA training, so I know that means he’s in shape. I don’t know, that’s completely up to CM Punk. But I’m just excited that he’s back with the WWE. Some things have been mended.”

Stone Cold elaborated further, saying “I know there was hard feelings on either side, so the fact that he’s back in the fold, I know he loves the business of professional wrestling or sports entertainment. He’s very opinionated, has a very knowledgeable opinion of the business, because of the roads that he’s traveled and the level of success that he’s had. And he’s a really smart guy and he’s a great promo and a great analytical mind. So, I’m glad that he’s back. I hope that he enjoys his ride. It’s good to see him and WWE have mended whatever happened back in the day. I’m excited for him, because I’m a CM Punk fan and I always have been. I’m happy for the guy.”
