Bully Ray thinks that Stone Cold Steve Austin shouldn't headline night 1 of WrestleMania 38 if he does have a match at WWE's biggest show of the year.
The Texas Rattlesnake is set to confront Kevin Owens at WWE's iconic event. The segment is currently being billed as an appearance by Austin on The KO Show.
On the latest Busted Open podcast, host David LaGreca argued that if Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kevin Owens have a match at WrestleMania 38, it should headline night 1 of the show. Bully Ray disagreed, stating that it wouldn't go down well with the rest of the roster and that Austin himself wouldn't want that to happen:
"If you're going to announce it as a match, you have to announce it obviously as his last time ever. I don't agree with you saying that it should be the main event of Night 1. You can't put that match on last, in my eyes. That is a direct kick in the a*s to the talent that's there now."
He also admitted that it would be difficult for the talent to follow Austin and Owens:
"Yes, it's an attraction, yes, it's Steve Austin, but I think even Steve Austin would tell you, 'No, I should not go on last.' The women should go on last or any other main event... you know what, forget about man or woman. Whatever main event that's been built, that has earned the right to go on last. But not Steve and Kevin. Steve and Kevin belong in the middle of the show. It's going to be very hard to follow Steve and Kevin." [From 11:13 to 12:08]
Bully Ray feels that Austin shouldn't win if he has a match with Owens at WrestleMania as it would "mean more" for the latter than the WWE Hall of Famer.
Which other matches will be on night 1 of WWE WrestleMania 38?
