Stone Cold Steve Austin lending backup as a shock partner
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin nearly squared off with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, but that dream match never materialized.

Reigns bringing him in would not just strengthen The Bloodline’s legacy — it could even recreate the aura of The Shield, this time with family ties backing the cause against Rollins.
