'Stone Cold' Steve Austin to return at WrestleMania 38

The Texas Rattlesnake is back.

WWE announced Tuesday that Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will return to the ring at WrestleMania 38 to confront Kevin Owens on "The KO Show." The confrontation will take place during the first night of WrestleMania festivities April 2 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

"I will guarantee you this: in Dallas, Texas, where I started my career at WrestleMania, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin is gonna open up one last can of whoop-ass on you, Kevin Owens," Austin said in a video tweeted by WWE.

In response to the announcement, Owens tweeted, "Beautiful! Perfect! I'm looking forward to it, Steven."

The 57-year-old Austin hasn't wrestled in a match since losing to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania XIX in 2003.
