Steve Austin was part of the WrestleMania 41 festivities, going into the WWE Hall of Fame with Bret Hart as their WrestleMania 13 match was inducted as an Immortal Moment.
On Sunday, Austin drove an ATV to the ring and announced the two-night attendance for the event.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The Ariel Helwani Show, Austin was asked if there were discussions of him doing more at the event.
"I was just happy to be there. I had a knee replacement about four months ago. For a total knee replacement to heal up 100%, you're looking at about a year. That was on December 4th. I don't squat anymore, I'm doing some Hindu squats along with my workouts, but I haven't even tried to run yet. I don't even know if I can run, not that I run a lot to the ring. I would imagine about I'm 30-35% of capacity. I did what I could. Just to be involved in the show, go out there and announce the attendance, that's what I did. That's about all I could do. Earlier in the year, not really discussions, just brief, 'Hey, if you want to be there, maybe we can figure you in.' I said, 'I'm getting my knee replaced. We'll see what happens when that time comes.' Time came and I can't do much," said Austin.
Elsewhere during the interview, Austin commented on his ATV crash at WrestleMania 41. You can find his full comments here.
