Last night’s Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble featured a plethora of crazy spots, including brass knuckles, frog splashes through tables and most memorably, a Stone Cold Stunner.
What made the move so shocking is that the Stunner has been off limits for current WWE stars ever since Austin retired from in-ring competition.

While many thought it was cool to see the Stunner back in action, Stone Cold was not that impressed.
Damn. I guess I gotta teach @FightOwensFight how to do a GD Stone Cold Stunner. Put some stink on it, kid. @WWE #royalrumble

As you might expect, KO was quick to respond to the WWE Legend.
I’m not hard to find…
I’m the One with the @WWE Universal Title. https://t.co/D2QXj3hv4t

Austin has yet to fire back, but I imagine his retort would start with a “WHAT?” and end with a can of whoop ass and the bottom line … because he said so.
How did you think Owens’ Stunner compared to the Texas Rattlesnake?
