WWE legend Steve Austin has confirmed that he will not be making a live appearance on Raw as part of 3:16 Day [March 16].
The date in March has become synonymous with the former WWE Champion as it connected to his legendary promo that was cut after he won the 1996 King of the Ring final. As Raw is due to take place on March 16, there were rumours that The Texas Rattlesnake could make his first live appearance in 2026. However, according to the man himself, this will not be happening.
Speaking with The TakeDown on SI, Austin noted that he is currently preparing for a race, but still encouraged fans to check out the show:
“Man, they should tune in because they love WWE and Monday Night Raw,” Austin responded when asked if there’s a special reason people should tune in tonight. “I’ll be a few days out from that race, the race I’m talking about with my racing career, and we’re trying to get that car ready and we’re working our asses off. So, yeah, I’ll be hunkered down in a garage out here in BFE, Nevada trying to get this buggy ready — side-by-side utility vehicle — to race this grueling 250 mile race with everybody else that I race with. So I want to get out there and put my own show on in the desert.”
WWE has also been promoting 3:16 Day by putting on an Austin merchandise sale on the company’s shop.
Austin last appeared at WrestleMania 41 during night 2 to announce the overall attendance for the weekend. Unfortunately for the Hall of Famer, the segment was also remembered by Austin’s infamous entrance, which saw him crash his ATV into a barricade.
