At WrestleMania 41, Steve Austin came down the ramp on an ATV and drove around the ring as he typically does.
On his second trip around the ring, Austin crashed into the barricade, startling fans and knocking one over. Austin quickly checked on the fan before entering the ring to announce the attendance.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The Ariel Helwani Show, Austin was asked what happened.
"Different throttle set up than what I'm used to. Long story short, just a different throttle system. I'm pretty dang hady on a four-wheeler," said Austin
Asked if there was any aftermath, Austin said, "I was embarrassed by it. I think everybody is okay. You go out there on the biggest night in wrestling and you end up like that, it's not the greatest day at the office. You go out there and want to give people the best show that you can and when you fall short of that, it's not great."
Nick Khan was seen speaking the the fan after the incident, and Austin went back over to speak to the fan after his in-ring segment.
No further fallout has been reported on the incident.
