Mike Johnson of PWInsider provided further clarification as to why Steve Austin is making an appearance at the upcoming WWE Raw at Madison Square Garden.

Johnson noted that Raw in The Garden is not sold out, as of his report they were only half sold and the same is the case for SmackDown, based on seating plans he has seen. 

The company is doing all they can to draw interest and bringing in Austin will be a special attraction, give his rich history with The Garden.

Johnson also noted that it is unlikely that he will take any bumps.

It will be interesting to see if a legend is added to SmackDown to help boost ticket sales.
