That was about 19 years ago, and the 2003 version of Steve Austin was feeling physically broken down, mentally drained, and looking forward to new horizons. You can’t really blame him.

WWE in 2015-2016 was at a point where only a drastic change could give existing fans a reason to stick around....
The rivalry began at SummerSlam 2018 when Flair pinned Lynch in a Triple Threat match, also involving Carmella, to become SmackDown Women’s champion.

Kvitova has had a stellar season so far, although she does not have a title to show for her efforts yet.
