Stone Cold Steve Austin is undeniably one of the biggest superstars in the wrestling industry, integral to the success of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE).## From his debut in 1989 to retirement in 2003, Steve Austin was a massive success for the company. In the WWF, Austin was repackaged as a short-tempered, brash, anti-establishment antihero named "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, becoming the most popular wrestler of the Attitude Era, fueled by his feud with company chairman Mr. McMahon.## He won multiple championships throughout his wrestling career. He famously won the WWF Championship six times and the WWF Intercontinental Championship twice.## Following his retirement from in-ring action, he made sporadic appearances and one-off returns to competition. His last match was against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38 Night One in a No Holds Barred match, which he won with a Stone Cold Stunner. This marked his first wrestling match in WWE in over 19 years.## During a recent interview with ESPN, Steve Austin was asked about having another match in WWE. ## “I said I'd never get in a ring again unless all the stars aligned & for some reason, somehow, they all did. And at the age of 57, I headlined the first night of WrestleMania 38. I never thought I'd do that. If you'd have told me that when I retired in 2003, I'd have said, 'You're crazy.' So I'm not gonna sit here & say no to anything because you never say never in this crazy business of sports entertainment." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

In anticipation of the 2024 Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View event which takes place on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, let's know who scores the most Elimination Chamber matches. ## The Elimination Chamber, a brutal steel structure known for high-impact action, has been a staple event in WWE since its debut in 2002. Originally held at Survivor Series, it became its own pay-per-view in 2010, typically serving as the last stop before the grand stage of WrestleMania.## Over 30 Elimination Chamber matches, both for men and women, have tested the resilience of countless wrestlers. But who are the true veterans of this unforgiving structure? While seven brave souls have battled within its confines four times, eight stand above the rest with appearances exceeding that number. ## 5. Kofi Kingston - 6 Times ## Kofi Kingston, known for his agility, surprised many by winning a tag team Elimination Chamber match in 2015. Despite not securing a singles victory, his emotional journey, particularly in 2019 against Daniel Bryan, remains a standout moment for fans and his New Day teammates. 4. Triple H - 7 Times ## Triple H, credited with creating the Elimination Chamber match, holds the record for most wins with four victories. His last win was in 2009, and he hasn't competed in the match since 2010, despite being its architect. ## 3. John Cena - 7 Times ## John Cena, a WWE stalwart, has won the Elimination Chamber three times in seven appearances. He's achieved victories from both the first and last positions. However, Cena hasn't won since 2011, aiming to tie Triple H for the most wins with one more victory. ## 2. Chris Jericho - 8 Times ## Chris Jericho shares the record for most Elimination Chamber appearances with Randy Orton at 8. He also holds the record for most eliminations with 10. Despite his dominance, Jericho has only emerged victorious once, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship in 2010 by defeating CM Punk, John Morrison, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, and The Undertaker. ## 1. Randy Orton - 8 Times ## Randy Orton remains tied with Chris Jericho for most Elimination Chamber wins. Despite his menacing persona, Orton has only won once in six appearances. However, with no signs of slowing down, he's poised for more opportunities in the future. This year, he is all set to break Jericho's record as he participates in the Men's Elimination Chamber match. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

New York, NY - February 13, 2024 - Since his WWE departure last year, Matt Riddle has been a whirlwind, hopping between promotions like MLW, NJPW, and independents. ## His tenure in NXT and on the main roster, where he even snagged the Raw Tag Team Titles with Randy Orton, was flourishing. However, things took a turn when Orton's severe back injury and substance abuse issues sidelined him for rehab last summer.## While appearing on Sunday Night's Main Event, Riddle confirmed that he had talks with TNA Wrestling. ## "When I got done with WWE, it's kind of stressful working on TV all the time, especially with the travel. The money is awesome, it's definitely worth it, and the experience. Now, I want to take a break from TV. After the 90 days and during the 90 days, I'm setting some dates up. I talked to some places. I've talked to TNA, I've worked with New Japan and MLW.## You do film for TV, but it's not the same as Monday Night Raw, three hours live, anything can happen, people are changing the script. You have ten minutes for your match, now you have five minutes. It's extremely stressful. I like the pressure, but at the same time, I kind of wanted a little break from all that. I'm choosing places more pay-per-view based where I don't have to worry about going to commercial so we can get that Fritos advertisement."Transcription via Fightful ## Riddle, along with other stars, was let go by WWE in the subsequent shake-up. Despite talks with various companies, including the resurgent TNA Wrestling, Riddle opted for a breather from the demanding weekly TV grind. ## He's found a different pace in MLW and NJPW, which prioritize event-based schedules rather than the relentless rhythm of WWE. This allows him to showcase his talents while avoiding the burnout he experienced. ## ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Last night's Raw saw Imperium orchestrate a near-flawless attack against Jey Uso and The New Day. However, their intricate plan unraveled in the final moments as Uso and The New Day's teamwork shone through, culminating in a Uso Splash on Vinci securing a decisive victory.## This victory adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming Intercontinental Championship clash between Uso and the formidable Gunther. Next week, the arena will crackle with anticipation as The Ring General, Gunther, defends his title against the hungry challenger, Jey Uso. In a recent backstage interview, Gunther delivered a chilling promise, vowing to shatter Uso's championship dreams and solidify his reign as the Intercontinental Champion. ## "I think, objectively, we have to look at the rivalry with The New Day. Well, boys, I think this whole thing is a marathon not a sprint. But honestly, The New Day and Jay Uso are both two of the most successful tag team wrestlers in the history of this company, and we lost to the better team today.## That's fine. Next week, Jay Uso is challenging me for the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. It's gonna be interesting because this time, Jay cannot share the burden of being successful. Jay will fully rely on himself, and he will face somebody that, unlike him, has achieved everything on his own. So I'm not worried at all." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

With the main event now seemingly set after the 2024 Royal Rumble winner declared he would challenge Reigns, Roman Reigns is now all set to hit another milestone. ## Following a transformative character shift, Reigns embarked on another dominant run, main-eventing WrestleManias 37-39. Notably, he retained the Universal Championship across all three consecutive appearances, facing tough challengers like Edge & Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar, and Cody Rhodes. ## Boasting an impressive seven WrestleMania main events, Roman Reigns ties Triple H for second place, with only active years separating them. Reigns cemented his legacy with a remarkable four-peat of main event appearances spanning WrestleManias 31-34, battling titans like Brock Lesnar, Triple H, and The Undertaker. ## Gearing up to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, Roman Reigns stands on the cusp of wrestling history. This year marks his fourth consecutive year in the illustrious main event, a feat he's already achieved once before. Should he defy the odds and win, Reigns would set a new record for most consecutive WrestleMania main event victories, surpassing Hulk Hogan's three-year reign from 1985-1987. ## However, with reports swirling about a potential title loss, this record might remain elusive. Nevertheless, one milestone seems assured: Reigns' seven WrestleMania main events tie him with Triple H for second place, with only Hulk Hogan's eight appearances surpassing them. Considering his active status, Reigns could arguably be viewed as the current leader in this category. ## Worth mentioning: Roman Reigns could potentially dominate WrestleMania 40 by appearing in both main events. Reports suggest he'll team with The Rock to face Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. This would propel him to the top of two lists: most WrestleMania main events (at 9) and most consecutive wins (assuming he secures victory in one of the matches). ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
