Despite Monday Night Raw being confined to an empty WWE Performance Center, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin still made an appearance during the show this week to celebrate "3:16 Day" since it was March 16. Austin cut a promo where he explained why 3:16 Day was a national holiday, and wound up hitting Byron Saxton with a pair of Stunners before having a beer bath with Becky Lynch. Unfortunately, it sounds like the WWE Hall of Famer hurt himself during the exchange.
