I think what KO is doing IS the build and Austin shows up on either the go home show or at Mania

Is it going to be one of those things that don’t get made until the show, or do you think we get at least a couple weeks of build for the match?
Part of me thinks it should be a tag match so Austin can be revealed as the partner on the night.

I meant more like, does it get announced ahead of time and we get some build from it. Like KO clearly is building something for sure. But yeah it’s likely one of the two. I think it be a huge pop if Austin just shows up at Mania and shuts KO up.

Ok I think Austin shows up on the go home show and challenges KO. Last ditch attempt to sell tickets

If they can get The Rock, Reigns will be defending that belt again next year

But you don't have to go that route. Look at Rock/Hogan and many of the Undertaker matches. It can be high stakes or a big deal and not involve the WWE/Universal Championship.

Crowd is going to go insane for Austin/KO interacting. I'm here for it.

I don't like the idea of Austin coming back. KO could have easily just slid into a Wrestlemania feud with Damian Priest for the US Title. I mean they had everything all lined up and the WWE just left it there, and now he's randomly teaming with Rollins. If this were the WWE of a few years ago I would trust that they could make good things happen with a KO/Austin feud, but not this current WWE.

That's fair enough, personally I'm hyped for it. I like that KO is getting a big spot on the WrestleMania card as many eyes will be on this feud.

Becky vs Bianca confirmed for WrestleMania Saturday. That oddly leaves us with both womens title matches on the Saturday.

I STILL can't see Austin wrestling lol. I just see KO continuing this Texas hating gimmick for the next couple of weeks and then coming out at Mania to cut a promo about how he hates Texas only for Stone Cold to come out and beat the shit out of him or have like a 30 second match. I can't imagine they're gonna announce the match in advance. They gonna want to wait until Mania for Stone Cold to get that surprise pop.

I truly think the best case scenario is a Rock/Rowan situation. Let KO talk shit, glass shatters, arrive, Stunner and leave.

I know it's too late to pivot with it now but wouldn't it be more fitting if the Vince/Mcafee stuff turned into a shitshow with Theory getting involved which then brings out Austin?

I figured they’d be back to 2 belts by Summerslam

Right, leave it to WWE to not have a match mean anything lmao. They're having a title unification match and it's this big thing because there will only be ONE champion... until like a month later when there's two again

Brock vs Roman Reigns will be the only match I will truly watch besides Bianca vs Becky and Kevin Owens getting his ass handed in Texas.
