An annual celebration of one of the most iconic figures in WWE history, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, is celebrated on March 16th.

This year, the excitement reaches new heights as the Texas Rattlesnake is scheduled to make an appearance at WWE World, bringing back memories of his legendary career and highlighting why he continues to be one of the most adored figures in professional wrestling.

What Is 3:16 Day?

Austin 3:16, the well-known term that originated at King of the Ring 1996 after Steve Austin cut a scathing promo on Jake “The Snake” Roberts, is the inspiration behind 3:16 Day, for those who are not familiar. He said the now-famous words that night:

“You sit there and you thump your Bible and you say your prayers and it didn’t get you anywhere! Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16… Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!”

Steve Austin became the face of WWE’s Attitude Era after “Austin 3:16” went viral, resulting in one of the all-time best-selling wrestling T-shirts.

Steve Austin’s Return to WWE World

Since WWE has confirmed that Steve Austin would be attending WWE World, the anticipation for this year’s 3:16 Day is even higher.

Although the specifics are still unknown, many are speculating. Is this an intro to a comeback inside the ring? An forthcoming show with a special segment? Or simply a chance for Austin to celebrate with a few cold ones and some of his trademark trash talk?

Whatever happens, you can be sure that “Stone Cold” will be a must-watch television program.

Why Fans Still Love Stone Cold

Austin hasn’t competed professionally for more than 20 years, but his impact is still unrivaled. Fans still nostalgically recall the wrestling era he defined with his rebellious demeanor, beer-drinking antics, and epic rivalries, particularly with Vince McMahon, The Rock, and Triple H.

Few can match the legacy Austin left behind, from his historic WrestleMania fights to his record-breaking Royal Rumble triumphs. In addition to being a wrestling legend, he became a pop culture phenomenon by embodying the anti-hero attitude that appealed to fans all over the world.

Over the years, WWE has also recognized 3:16 Day, frequently releasing tribute videos, selling limited-edition items, and occasionally even including Austin in unexpected segments.
