Stone Cold Steve Austin appears to 'injure' WWE fans in horrifying moment during WrestleMania 41

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin appeared to crash a quad bike into fans at WrestleMania 41.

WrestleMania 41 took place over the weekend at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, with fans treated to a classic performance from John Cena, who became the undisputed WWE champion after defeating Cody Rhodes.

Shortly after Cena’s triumph, fans were greeted with the sound of glass shattering before "Stone Cold" Steve Austin appeared to crash a four-wheeler into the ringside barricade, which then saw a fan fall over due to the impact. However, it is unclear if the vehicle made contact with her.

And fans were quick to give their thoughts on the incident.

One said: "That fan making a spectacle of this should be banned from all further events."

Another added: "Yeah, I’m pretty sure those front row sets come with liability waivers."

A third explained: "It was big time dramatic effect because her fall was super delayed she didn’t fall until she realized the camera was facing that way."

While a fourth commented: "Bruh who gets front row tickets to a wrestling show not expecting something like this to happen.

"At some shows front row I half expect to be needed to catch someone at some point."

In the moments following the crash, Austin, 60, checked if the woman in question was okay before entering the ring and drinking beers in signature fashion.

The 60-year-old was at the event after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Friday, as part of the first-ever match to get inducted into the Moments Wing of the Hall of Fame. Austin was by joined Bret Hart in accepting this award for their clash at WrestleMania 13 back in 1997.

However, Austin appeared annoyed at the length of the Hall of Fame ceremony when speaking in an interview with WWE World Panel.

“I learned that the Hall of Fame ought to be a little bit shorter than what it was, and it might start about three or four hours sooner," said Austin. "I got to bed about 3:15, call it 3:16. I live in Nevada, I’m a hermit. I don’t hang out with a whole lot of people, so once I hang out with a lot of people, I have to decompress and do my own thing. I drank a beer and had a little bit of a bottle of wine left. I chilled out and finally went to sleep. When that alarm clock went off, I was red-eyed and drunk. I said, ‘Man what the F!'”
