UPDATE: Here is the latest on the situation between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon.
As previously announced by WWE, Chris Jericho will be hosting a live podcast this Monday on the WWE Network, where he will interview John Cena. A source close to the situation says that there has been a falling out between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon. McMahon was reportedly not happy with the Austin podcast with Triple H, which led to the deal with Jericho being made.
While not confirmed, the issues seem to be around Austin asking about Chyna possibly getting in the WWE Hall of Fame, the fallout of Chyna resurfacing and then talking about HHH and accusing him of physical abuse.
ORIGINAL: As we previously reported, Steve Austin was supposed to appear at WrestleMania 31 in Santa Clara, but didn’t due to an issue with Vince McMahon.
WWE had been planning for Austin at the to attend the show during last week. He was supposed to fly into San Jose on the same flight as The Undertaker. When the plane landed, Austin wasn’t there. WWE even had someone there to pick him up. They were still hopeful he would arrive eventually.
The issue between Austin and McMahon appears to be over criticism of Austin’s WWE Network podcast. Vince was said to be so angry that one person claimed they’ve never seen him that mad about anything. This could be why Chris Jericho’s podcast is airing on the network now instead.
Meanwhile, WWE wanted Austin to host Tough Enough again but he turned them down for unknown reasons.
