Austin is a former WSC Hardcore Champion and winner of the 2019 Royal Rumble.

### Hardcore Champion (2019)

Austin made his WSC debut in the 2019 Royal Rumble at #30, immediately eliminating Kevin Owens. Austin then went on to eliminate Edge. Then it was down to the final two, which was Austin and Roman Reigns. Out of nowhere, with one chair shot to the head, Austin eliminated Reigns and won the Royal Rumble, which means Austin is the new WSC Hardcore Champion. Austin then had a match with Owens for the championship. Before the match, Owens attacked Austin, which then became a Backstage Brawl. The brawl then took place out to the arena. Fortunately, Austin pinned Owens with a Stunner on a chair. Austin then successfully defended the championship in a Fatal 5 Way match with Jon Moxley, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy, and Abyss.

After the match, Austin got run over by CM Punk, leading to a match the next episode with them. During the match, Austin got payback by running over Punk and pinning him to retain. Then, Austin had to defend his championship in the first ever Deadly Games Match along with Tommaso Ciampa, Adam Cole, Mick Foley, Hardy, and Moxley. During the match, Owens unexpectedly appeared and Powerbombed Austin off the structure into the announcer's table, eliminating him. Austin never really wrestled full time after that match, probably due to injuries.

### Royal Rumble Return (2020)

Austin made one in-ring appearance in the April 2020 Royal Rumble at #26 and immediately eliminated Matt Hardy and Kurt Angle, but got eliminated by Aliester Black as CM Punk was going for a GTS. Punk got eliminated at the same time as Austin as Punk got Black Massed as Punk was gonna perform the GTS.

### Commissioner (2022-present)

After 2 years, Austin made his return when Nathan asked him to do him a favor. Austin then wet out and stunnered Brock Lesnar and pulled out two beers and chugged them. Weeks later, Austin came to interfere at rival CM Punk, but then got F5'd by Lesnar. It was then revealed that Austin is WSC's first and new Commissioner for the company. On July 18, 2022, Austin and Brock was then confirmed to be a match at WrestleMania 1. On December 3, the match came to for-wishing. Before entering the ring, Austin went back up the stage and drove in his ATV. He rode it down the ramp and lunged at Lesnar, which kicked off the match. Austin then pulled out two beers and smash them against Lesnar's head. The match was very fast paced, where surprisingly Austin never backed down. Not even a surprise shooting star press. Nonetheless, with one F5, Lesnar pins Austin for the win.
