Steve Austin Comments on His ATV Crash Incident at WrestleMania 41
As noted before, WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin was involved in an incident at WWE’s WrestleMania 41 Night 2 event earlier this month in Las Vegas, Nevada. This incident revolved around Austin crashing his ATV into a barricade at ringside and caused a fan to get hurt after she fell backwards.
A recent episode of The Ariel Helwani Show featured Austin as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Austin’s thoughts about the cause of his ATV crash incident.
“Different throttle set up than what I’m used to. Long story short, just a different throttle system. I’m pretty dang hady on a four-wheeler.”
Austin also gave his thoughts about if there was any aftermath for him within WWE over the incident.
“I was embarrassed by it. I think everybody is okay. You go out there on the biggest night in wrestling and you end up like that, it’s not the greatest day at the office. You go out there and want to give people the best show that you can and when you fall short of that, it’s not great.”

Naomi Comments on Future of Her Wrestling Career & Potentially Taking Time Away from WWE to Have Kids
A recent episode of The Nikki & Brie Show podcast featured Naomi as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Naomi’s thoughts about the future of her wrestling career and her potentially taking time away from WWE to have kids.
“I always wanted kids young. I always wanted a lot. Your girl is getting up there. I’m 37. Time. I’ve got to figure this out like yesterday. I’m asking myself and struggling with that question. I’m definitely leaning towards it, but I’ve had health issues. I only have one ovary. Even if I wanted to continue wrestling longer, my biological clock, I can’t. We got a lot to figure out. I have to step away and take care of my health and myself. If we’re going to have kids, I have to start that process very soon. With that on my mind and on my plate, I think that makes my time left here even more special and valuable to me. That’s why I’m so passionate about what I’m doing because I think this might be it.”
