WWE’s intended narrative revolves around Kevin Owens taking shots at Texas, and many pundits, including Vince Russo, believe that there are better ways to book the Hall of Famer’s comeback.

Russo donned the booker’s hat once again on this week’s episode of Legion of RAW and provided a captivating story to facilitate the long-awaited return of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Every pro wrestling feud needs an explosive start, and Vince Russo said WWE could utilize Steve Austin’s podcast and have Owens appear as the guest. Russo would write Owens to attack the legend’s pride and call him out for not being able to wrestle.

As expected, Steve Austin will have a hostile response. The unique booking decision brings a sense of reality into play and adds relevancy to WWE-backed podcasts moving forward.

Vince Russo based his proposed storyline for Steve Austin on the iconic Rocky 4 movie and said that WWE could showcase the Texas Rattlesnake’s intense training routine during the build-up to the mega match.

Austin’s primary motive would be to prove Kevin Owens wrong, but beyond the rivalry, the 57-year-old would also want to be able to perform at a high level for fans.

Vince Russo says WWE can get Bret Hart back as Stone Cold Steve Austin’s trainer

Steve Austin’s coming out of retirement should be rightfully treated as a monumental moment, and Vince Russo felt WWE could add more star power to the equation by getting Bret Hart back as a mentor.

Russo once again referenced Rocky 4 and the heart-wrenching scene where Balboa revealed his vulnerable side to his wife, Adrian.

Steve Austin could also encounter self-doubt during his preparations for the match. Russo pitched the possibility of Bret Hart taking his former rival to the Dungeon to reignite his passion.

“The Hitman” played a significant role in setting up Steve Austin for superstardom, and the company could potentially execute a brilliant callback by getting Hart back for a cameo performance.

Vince Russo’s spontaneous creative pitch for Steve Austin’s return sounds promising; however, is it better than WWE’s planned feud around “The Stunner” and Owens’ Texas-related barbs? You can decide and let us know in the comments section below.
