#3. That Stone Cold Steve Austin promo

This was the antepenultimate episode of Monday Night RAW ahead of WrestleMania, which means that there are just two episodes to go before WWE gets into it's highest gear and the closing moments of last night's show were definitely out of place.

Stone Cold Steve Austin was called in to deliver a promo to celebrate 3:16 day since it was March 16th but because there was no audience in attendance it was awkward and it felt as though Austin struggled throughout.

Austin tripped over his words more than a few times while reading off cue cards before the bit ended with Byron Saxton taking a Stone Cold Stunner. This shouldn't have been the main event. Austin didn't become part of any storyline or add anything to the WrestleMania. His spot in the show should have been switched with Edge so that The Rated R Superstar's challenge to Randy Orton was the main highlight of the show.

The Austin promo was one of the lower points of the night, it's unknown as to whether or not this was because Byron Saxton was the only person hanging onto his every word or because it just didn't live up to the hype. Although Becky Lynch coming out to share a few beers with Stone Cold was a much needed injection of fun into the segment. Especially when she actually stepped on Saxton to get into the ring.
