Last week, however, Austin provided a positive update following his latest stint under the knife.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am 7 weeks post op on a total knee replacement,\u201d revealed the WWE Hall of Famer on Jan 21, 2025, via Instagram. \u201cMy left knee was on its last leg, and I have been putting surgery off for years.\u201d This means Austin would likely have been working through immense pain during his last match to date with WWE. (That bout took place in 2022 at WrestleMania in Dallas.) Fortunately, \u201cThe Rattlesnake\u201d went on to explain that his post op X-rays have showed \u201ceverything is healing nicely.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Stone Cold\u2019 Steve Austin Always Comes Back Stronger<\/h2>\n<p>Austin is no stranger to going under the knife. His most significant injury occurred in the ring back at SummerSlam 1997, when the late Owen Hart dropped him on his head and caused spinal damage while executing an inverted piledriver. While the former six-time WWE champ wrestled for years following reconstructive neck surgery, he had to reduce his move set in order to prolong his career. Incredibly, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/news\/stone-cold-steve-austin-stuns-wrestlemania-38-at-age-57\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stone Cold\u201d was 57 when he made a return and beat Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38<\/a>. Following the widespread critical acclaim for that match, Austin said he couldn\u2019t rule out putting on his boots one more time. Still, wrestling has taken a back seat to off-road racing in recent years, and \u201cStone Cold\u201d (now 60) has joined forces with the GFI Nevada Racing team, riding Kawasaki.<\/p>\n<h2>Will \u2018Stone Cold\u2019 Steve Austin Ever Return to a WWE Ring?<\/h2>\n<p>These days, Austin in busy with his highly successful \u201cBroken Skull\u201d beer brand but revealed that he is \u201cback in the gym and training\u201d after trying to rush his recovery and suffering an initial set back. \u201cI came out of the gate aggressively and started walking way too soon.\u201d Austin explained, adding that recovery will likely take him a year. This means the chances of him dishing out one of his trademark stunners at this year\u2019s WrestleMania seems pretty unlikely. Still, they do say that anything can happen in WWE.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is for sure, the pro wrestling legend has been looking ripped as of late and fully intends to get back to racing. \u201cI have my sights set to race in The Mint 400 outside of Las Vegas,\u201d he said. \u201cI am thankful to have found the challenge of desert off road racing. I love the competition and the hard conditions that come with it.
