Why The Fiend did not attack Steve Austin

The Fiend and Steve Austin

In the build-up to Monday Night RAW, it was hinted a lot of times that Stone Cold Steve Austin was going to be attacked by Bray Wyatt. The Fiend has been going after the legends a lot and Stone Cold was all set to be the next victim.

However, Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio revealed a possible reason why the attack did not happen. He said:

“He absolutely brought up Steve Austin (during the firefly Fun House segment). I don’t think they would want Steve Austin to put him over. I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for that. I don’t think it’s a good idea. I wouldn’t do it.”

“I wouldn’t like, trivialize Austin as just being a guy, you know one of those guys. Too strong of a character, because if he does something to Austin, the people would want Austin to get the revenge, not Seth Rollins or Braun Strowman. It doesn’t make sense, honestly to do that. But as far as why he was doing that? Maybe to tease something down the line, who knows. But yeah, he went hard on Austin. He definitely did. He was talking about strangers, right? I’m sure he’s going to do something at the PPV after the Rollins and Strowman match. At least he should.”

Now, Wyatt is rumoured to be attacking The Undertaker on SmackDown Live tonight!
