Should Stone Cold Steve have made an appearance?

The disrespect to Taker is UNREAL!!!! The match was so entertaining and the stars really did an awesome job. The Rock, Undertaker and John Cena did their part while not outshining Roman and Cody. Let's appreciate the great match and be thankful for the legends that participated.

I think the real reason why Austin didn’t happen is because I don’t think Austin wanted to steal the spotlight from Cody, and if he appears instead of taker and faces the Rock, it’s a massive moment that overshadows the match. I would have loved it, but I’m glad he didn’t.

[TeranIcer]

Fans wanted Austin seemingly at the expense of dissing Taker. An Austin Stunner would've been great, but Taker's still the greatest WM performer ever.

The 70k+ fans there seemed pretty excited about taker.

I was expecting Stone Cold to appear at WrestleMania 40 to see Rock vs Stone Cold

[joshuacoldwater]

The Rock is an owner now, his expense is $0.

Fans if Austin appeared : Yeah, it was expected. Wwe is too much predictable.
Wwe : Did something unexpected with The Undertaker.
Fans : Noooo. Why would you do that? 😭😭

I hate this type of fans. I myself expected Austin. But screamed my lung out when heard that "Gong".

[RicoTBF]

Undertaker coming at the end blew my mind definitely just as good as Austin returning just because no one expected it

[Silent_Shadow]

Stone Cold is my favorite Superstar of ALL time...but come on guys. Undertaker is also a living legend and it was still amazing!

[The-You-Doober]

The Undertaker worked for 30 years straight. The Undertaker was loyal to the WWE his whole career. He never left Vince. The sound of the pop I heard when that bell tolled was just as good. The best theater in wrestling history is the legendary Undertaker.

I’m very happy the way things turned out! Awesome ending!

Was looking for stone cold to come out but undertaker is a great substitute even tho i wanted stone cold im not mad

[RahulRawat-qusv]

It would have been perfect of we had heard the glass shatter and Austin could've stunned The Rock and Roman.

[JayDaniel-nxip]

It was great...but the undertaker was random. Every detail was written so perfectly. Cena accounts for his rival(solo), jey for his rival (Jimmy), Seth with the "I will be your shield metaphor" ...every detail was so perfect...and then the undertaker comes in and attacks the rock? Kinda the only two main event guys from their era that were not rivals. HHH would have even made more sense but I guess his heart won't allow him to even come in and do something quick. It was just weird. With that said it was fun and exciting. It just would have been a 10/10 instead of a 9.7/10 if you swap taker for austin.

[mahyar]

Even though they put on a hell of a show but Man I was extremely disappointed that Stone cold did not show up

[deesmith]

Yes! It could of happened the same way Undertaker was. We didn’t need to see moves. Just a stunner and a cool sell by the rock. Middle fingers up and that’s all

[RobertMoran-kdzb]

Stone Cold should appear at the next WrestleMania.

[StephenCHolman]

Storyline wise, the Undertaker has history with Roman. There is no history between Austin and Roman.

[rayshawnhoward]

I'm not complaining I like how the main event ended sure it would have been great to see Stone Cold give the rock one more stunner but it was also great seeing the Rock and Undertaker in the same ring at Wrestlemania because remember they never had a match at WrestleMania this is the first time they came face-to-face at WrestleMania I've been waiting for something like this to happen when The Rock was in his prime and we never got it and now we finally got it I am satisfied The Rock and Austin had wrestled like 3 times at Wrestlemania and they were cutting promos at WrestleMania 30 but seeing The Rock and The Undertaker at Wrestlemania in the same ring for the first time to me that's a WrestleMania moment 💯💯💯💯
