Why should I care about LA vs Stone Cold when bro hasn’t won a match since his return.

Lets be fair, Kevin Owens didn't win much of anything for a long ass time and everyone cared when he rassles Stone Cold.

LA Knight/Stone Cold would just be a What/Yeah off. Honestly the best way to do it would be to do it in a backstage segment so that we can add Ron Simmons to the end of it.

I could rock with a Austin/LA Knight match. No cap.

 

[Cwalker]

I think Knight would be perfect cause Austin could just go in there, get his shit in, quick Stunner and let’s go home.

And Knight would keep him safe. It wouldn’t have to be a classic like the Owens match last year. 5 minutes and we’re done

 

[Storm Trooper]

I don't want Austin to wrestle another match he has a perfect send-off already. Hell he had 2 of them.

Edge vs. Finn Bálor (Hell in a Cell Match)​

A rivalry as venomous and vicious as Edge and Finn Bálor’s can only end one way: inside Hell in a Cell.

Almost one year ago, Edge founded The Judgment Day with Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, before Finn Bálor stole the faction away from him in vicious fashion.

Since then, The Rated-R-Superstar has been on a rampant quest to destroy the very group he created. To this end, Edge has tangled in his hometown of Toronto against Priest, helped Rey Mysterio defeat The Judgment Day at SummerSlam and even faced Bálor in an “I Quit” Match at WWE Extreme Rules.

Despite Edge’s efforts, The Judgment Day has managed to grow stronger, most notably adding Dominik Mysterio to its ranks. In his match against Bálor at Extreme Rules, the dark faction forced Edge to say “I Quit” before Ripley took his wife Beth Phoenix out of action with a Con-Chair-To. Ultimately, the Grit Couple returned to defeat Bálor and Ripley at WWE Elimination Chamber but, despite the loss, The Prince was hellbent on inflicting punishment on The Ultimate Opportunist.

As their rivalry continued to rage on, Edge officially challenged Bálor to a match at WrestleMania on the March 13th edition of Raw, but this time with a twist: their clash will take place inside Hell in a Cell.

Edge is no stranger to Hell in a Cell, including a victory against Seth “Freakin” Rollins at Crown Jewel 2021 and way back in a hard-fought matchup against The Undertaker in SummerSlam 2028. The Prince, however, will be stepping inside the Devil’s Playground for the first time. The Show of Shows hasn’t had a Hell in a Cell Match since The Undertaker defeated Shane McMahon seven years ago at WrestleMania 32.

Can Edge finally rid the WWE Universe of The Judgment Day and send Bálor straight to hell?

Gonna be fun seeing a hell in a cell match in the middle of the show.

Initially, Lesnar was slated to fight Bobby Lashley at the event, Sports Illustrated learned, but that was moved to February (in a finish that protected both men) at Elimination Chamber so Lesnar could then prepare for a program against Steve Austin. Yet WWE and Austin never came to terms. Whether that happens with Austin and a different opponent is yet-to-be determined.​

A tidbit from Justin Barrasso. Would explain the last minute decision to go the Omos route if they were still pursuing the Austin match.

 

[Sabretooth]

I’m so sorry but I don’t believe for one second Austin and Lesnar were ever gonna face off at Mania.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Lesnar vs Austin was a stupid match I never understood anyways, as if they bombed Lesnar Lashley at Mania for a match that they were hoping would happen. pretty shitty

 

[Cwalker]

I mean Austin/Lesnar would’ve drawn money and it’s a match we’ve never seen before.

I just wouldn’t want Austin in there taking suplexes from Brock. It fucked Lashley up last year; I can only imagine what it would do to a 50 year old who doesn’t take bumps often
