Roman is so hot. It just wasn\u2019t time to pass that torch yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI watched both nights of\u00a0<em>WrestleMania 39<\/em> very intently. To me, you can\u2019t take that belt off Roman right now. You want to get it to Cody somehow, someway, some time\u2014but now\u2019s not the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust thinking about that finish, I thought it was definitely the right call. I loved the outside interference. You didn\u2019t know what was coming next. That spike to the throat, for me, it was money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin was approached about being a part of WrestleMania 39, but things didn&#8217;t come together due to scheduling issues and other factors. Austin has not been seen on WWE programming since WrestleMania 38 last year in Dallas.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/04\/19\/aew-ring-announcer-to-miss-this-weeks-dynamite\/\">AEW ring announcer to miss this week\u2019s Dynamite<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-293940405\"><div id=\"pwtor-3244980911\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Steve Austin says that the finish of the WrestleMania 39 main event match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes was &#8220;money.&#8221; Austin spoke to Sports Illustrated about the event and detailed his opinion of the <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/04\/19\/steve-austin-says-wrestlemania-39-finish-was-money\/\" title=\"Steve Austin says WrestleMania 39 finish was &#8220;money&#8221;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":34612,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[353,446,71],"class_list":["post-157414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_wwe","tag-steve-austin","tag-stone-cold","tag-wwe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2016\/11\/AustinSteve_WK_3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157414"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":157415,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157414\/revisions\/157415"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
