Fightful Select previously reported that a
pitch was made internally for a "huge opponent" for Stone Cold Steve Austin to have a match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. At the very least, Austin's camp was approached with the possibility of it happening, which was said to have been for "enormous" money.
Now, there has been another report, this time from
Dave Meltzer, who confirms that the opponent pitched for Austin was actually Brock Lesnar. Metzler didn't entirely deny that the Brock-Austin thing isn't on now as the plan can still change.
"It's not on. Something can happen now. It's been talked about probably for months. I know when that Brock Lesnar-Gunther thing came up, I was told immediately that's not happening or that's not the idea right now, maybe it's gonna happen now but the idea was something that's a secret. Austin was that secret. The match is not on and it looks like it's gonna be Lesnar with Lashley,
based on the show tonight.
I don't have that confirmed that it's a WrestleMania. Obviously, they will likely be in the Rumble and probably feud and whether that means Montreal [at Elimination Chamber] or WrestleMania, I don't know but it feels like it's probably something to do with WrestleMania."
