Steve Austin’s Knee Surgery Update: “Stone Cold” Opens Up about Mint 400 Race

The Texas Rattlesnake is back in the gym, and he's feeling… well, a little "rattled" by the recovery process. Steve Austin recently gave fans an update on his road to recovery after undergoing total knee replacement surgery, admitting he's still feeling "weak as a kitten." But true to his "Stone Cold" spirit, Austin isn't letting a little setback slow him down. He's back in the gym, pushing himself to the limit, because as he puts it, "working out is far better than staying idle."
WWE legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has provided an update on his recovery following total knee replacement surgery, revealing he's slowly but surely regaining his strength. Austin, known for his "tough guy" persona, admitted in a recent Instagram post that he feels "weak as a kitten" but emphasized that staying active is key. While he's focusing on upper body training, he's wisely avoiding any leg workouts and diligently continuing physical therapy.

The caption reads, "The road back to Offroad Racing.
No, it doesn’t make a shit of difference how much you can lift in a race. And I’m still as weak a a kitten. But pushing weights in the gym is a shitload better than sitting indoors all day with your leg propped up in the air. I am not training legs yet, and I am getting close to being released from physical therapy. Then I will continue rehab on my own. Long way to go still. And I am looking to be as solid as I can be for the Mint 400 Race. I need more seat time in my KRX1000, for sure.
One day at a time."
But Austin isn't just focused on getting back in shape for the sake of it. He has his sights set on a thrilling return to the off-road racing scene, specifically the prestigious Mint 400 race. With his signature determination, Austin is eager to get back behind the wheel and conquer the desert.
The video accompanying his post shows him lifting weights, a testament to his commitment to recovery. Austin underwent the surgery in late 2024, and this recent update, shared on January 22nd, marks a significant milestone in his journey back to full strength.
