Stone Cold Steve Austin has tipped two current SmackDown stars to join him in the WWE Hall of Fame.
WWE legend Steve Austin recently attended a WWE live event in Reno Nevada, where chatted with a number of current stars.
During a new interview with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda, Austin reflected on the show, explaining that he was impressed with the talent on display. When Drew McIntyre’s name was brought up, Austin was full of praise for the former World Champion and his opponent in the main event Sheamus.
“Drew and Sheamus headlined the card and they had a tremendous main event,” Austin said. “They went probably at least 20 minutes and almost like an ‘Anything Goes’ match ,and they tore the house down. They were a great main event and everybody loved him, so Drew McIntyre still doing great things. Hell, Sheamus, I loved where they got him figured right now.”
He added that he believes that the pair will one day be joining him in the Hall of Fame.
“Two super great human beings, and two Hall of Famers, and all these Hall of Fames that I’ve been in, they’ll go in as well,
Long-time rivals McIntyre and Sheamus will be back in action on SmackDown just days ahead of SummerSlam. The winner of the match will earn a shot at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales on September 3rd.
At SummerSlam, Roman Reigns puts his World Championship on the line against Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing Match. The Tribal Chief recently said that he hopes that the bout is his last with Lesnar due to the physical toll their clashes take on his body.
