“Stone Cold” Steve Austin has chimed in on the rumored WrestleMania 35 match between Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey, and also on Flair’s work as heel and babyface, during the latest episode of his podcast.
“I loved [Ric] Flair as a heel. He’s the greatest [pro] wrestler of all time, but his heel work was outstanding. His baby work, eh, he’s still Ric Flair, but I like Ric Flair as a heel,” Austin said (h/t WrestlingInc.com).
“For me, Charlotte is a defined heel. We know she’s a heel. We’re pushing her as a heel. We’re booking her as a heel. Yeah, to me, she has a defined role. She’s totally confident in either one, but I think she’s more comfortable as a heel,” Austin said, before continuing, “And that’s not from me talking to her. That’s from me guessing that she’s more comfortable as a heel, but she’s going to do whatever they [the WWE] ask of her.”
Austin also commented on the epic Rousey/Flair showdown.
“Boy, that has the potential to be a hell of a main event, but then you’ve got two babies” Austin said. “Would you go two babies or would you make sure Charlotte’s a heel because Ronda needs to be the baby?”
