Last week, the WrestleMania rumor mill was on fire with people trying to figure out who Brock Lesnar would be facing at WrestleMania 32, even boiling it down to four wrestlers. And while they all sounded good, there's no way of knowing who will actually be facing the mayor of Suplex City at 'Mania next April... unless one of the rumored opponents officially takes their name off of the ballot.
As the speculation reached a fever pitch, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin took to his Twitter account to shed some light on his rumored involvement in a possible return match against Lesnar:
You can take my name off the rumor mill as a Brock Lesnar opponent at WM32. Bullshit reporting.
It makes sense. Stone Cold has been out of the ring officially for almost 12 years. In the condition his body is in, he shouldn't be getting back into the ring, especially for a match against Lesnar. Maybe Austin and Lesnar will discuss it further when Lesnar joins the Stone Cold Podcast live on the WWE Network after Raw on October 19.
In another bit of WrestleMania housekeeping, some insiders are saying that The Rock is currently not scheduled to face Lesnar, either. So, while the big(ger) money match-ups seem to be off of the table, what's left could actually end up being better for Lesnar's opponent overall.
