A&E has officially announced a new series starring WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin.
When the third season of “Biography: WWE Legends” concludes, “Stone Cold Takes on America” will start airing on A&E, as PWMania.com reported last month. Austin’s show was scheduled to premiere on Sunday, April 9, and conclude on Sunday, June 11.
A&E has announced that “Stone Cold Takes on America” will premiere on Sunday, April 30 at 10pm ET, rather than April 9. The show will air as part of A&E’s WWE Superstar Sunday programming block, alongside season two of “WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures.” Most Wanted Treasures will air as a one-hour prelude to Austin’s new show on April 30 at 9pm ET.
The one-hour episodes of the 10-part “Stone Cold Takes on America” series will feature The Texas Rattlesnake hitting the road in his RV, accepting challenges from fans. The trailer and more information are available below.
Season two of A&E’s “Most Wanted Treasures” will also feature WWE Hall of Famers Lita, Booker T, and Mick Foley leading the hunt for iconic WWE memorabilia. Each one-hour episode will follow the trio as they tour the country with other Hall of Famers including Austin, DX, Kurt Angle, Bret Hart, Bill Goldberg, and others. They’re looking for DX’s Invasion Jeep, Stone Cold’s cement truck, Randy Savage’s Mega Powers Robe, Goldberg’s WWE debut jacket, the bagpipes played by WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper, and more.
Season 3 of “Biography: WWE Legends” and season 3 of “WWE Rivals” will premiere this Sunday, February 19, on A&E. For more information, click here.
