It seems that many backstage in WWE are supporting Steve Austin in his situation with Vince McMahon and WWE.
Steve Austin's lawyer is currently locked in talks with Vince McMahon over WWE benefiting from the "Stone Cold" name if anything comes from outside projects.
The consensus backstage is that WWE go overboard when it comes to owning everything related to wrestlers and are happy that someone is finally standing up to McMahon over the matter.
At this point, Austin's future is still pretty uncertain and there is a danger that WWE could lose yet another main-event star and after the losses of Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and the Rock to movie commitments, it would definitely hurt the company.
It would also hurt WWE in terms of merchandise sales. Although Austin does not actively compete as a wrestler, a lot of money is made from his merchandise sales.
