WWE's biggest event of the year is coming up in 10 days, and there is no shortage of WrestleMania hype. It appears that fans may need to expect the Texas Rattlesnake as well.

Although nothing has been confirmed, WWE has been in contact with Steve Austin about making an appearance at WrestleMania 40.

WWE Wants Austin For WrestleMania

PW Insider reports that WWE is in discussions to include Stone Cold Steve Austin in WrestleMania 40 weekend. The details of Austin's role are undisclosed, but an overture has been made.

Steve Austin's appearance on a production truck during this week's episode of Monday Night RAW was noticed by many fans. Several other legends have also been rumored for WrestleMania 40 weekend, because John Cena was on that truck as well.

WWE's WrestleMania Aspirations

It was previously reported that WWE is looking to have John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker at WrestleMania 40. As of this writing, we have not heard of any possible role that they will play at the show of shows.

Steve Austin's last match took place at WrestleMania 38 in a No Holds Barred match against Kevin Owens. That marked Austin's first match to date since WrestleMania XIX in 2003.

John Cena and WrestleMania 40

It was reported in February that John Cena wants to do "something" for WrestleMania 40. He has since confirmed that he has the day off.

Cena is going to start shooting the second season of Peacemaker in the early summer. We will have to see if WWE can get Cena to appear at the show of shows before that obligation starts.
