Alors que Brock Lesnar souhaite affronter Steve Austin, si il doit faire un dernier combat à la WWE, ce dernier n'a pas tardé à lui répondre :
Ce que Lesnar avait déclaré :
"Ironically it's probably the guy that walked out on me. The guy that took his ball and went home. A guy that I was supposed to face and I think that he was just plain downright scared to get in the ring with me because he was one of those guys that was on top and saw a huge threat in Brock Lesnar at the time. That's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. I worked with everybody and anybody that was anybody there and if I came back, I think the guy that I would come back to fight is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin."
Il dit qu'à l'époque où il était à la WWE, il devait affronter Austin. Ce dernier avait refusé le combat. Lesnar pense alors qu'il avait peur.
Ce que Austin a répondu :
"So @DCBROCKLESNAR was talking trash about me...very interesting. Gonna finish my beverage and mull this one over...catch y'all tomorrow.
Trying to go to sleep..but this @DCBROCKLESNAR thing is winding me up a bit...relax....breath...relax...breathe....no use..to be continued.."
A noter qu'Austin a indiqué dans une interview, qu'il avait refusé d'affronter Lesnar en 2003, car il le jugeait encore trop "rookie" et que Lesnar n'était pas préparé.
