Steve Austin Backstage At WWE Live Event, Top WWE Star Reacts
WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was in attendance for Sunday night's "Sunday Stunner" live event in Reno, Nevada.
That's not all – Austin watched every match backstage along with the WWE roster, as revealed by SmackDown Superstar Natalya.
The coolest part of tonight in Reno was having @steveaustinBSR at our show watching every match backstage... Steve is the best. Truly. ❤️

Classy as always, Austin praised the WWE roster for putting on a "helluva show" at the Reno Events Center.
Reno was a damn good crowd. In it from start to finish. Y'all gave em a helluva show and that's the bottom line.

The main event of the Reno show saw Drew McIntyre defeating Sheamus. Two nights before on "SmackDown," McIntyre was slated to wrestle Sheamus with the winner getting an Undisputed WWE Universal Title shot at the 9/3 Clash at the Castle pay-per-view. However, Sheamus had Butch of The Brawling Brutes stable wrestle on his behalf. With McIntyre winning that bout, the McIntyre vs. Sheamus televised match is expected to take place soon in the coming weeks.
The co-main event saw Liv Morgan (c) retaining her Smackdown Women's Title in a Triple Threat against Ronda Rousey and Natalya. Morgan will defend against Rousey at the 7/30 SummerSlam premium live event.
