Steve-O Rules Out WWE Return Nearly 20 Years After His 2006 RAW Appearance

Steve-O has made a career out of saying yes to things most sane people would refuse, but a return to WWE isn’t one of them. The Jackass star recently addressed the possibility of stepping back into the world of professional wrestling and made clear it simply isn’t in the cards.

Steve-O’s lone WWE moment came in October 2006 when he appeared on RAW, giving him a footnote in wrestling history that fans have remembered fondly over the years. With that appearance now approaching its 20th anniversary, curiosity about whether he might ever revisit the squared circle has apparently followed him — enough so that he felt the need to address it directly.

His answer was a firm no.

It’s a bit of a surprising stance given how WWE has leaned into celebrity involvement in recent years, regularly bringing in pop culture figures for WrestleMania seasons and other marquee events. Steve-O, with his built-in charisma and fearless persona, would seem like a natural fit for that kind of cameo. But whatever his reasons, he’s not interested in revisiting that chapter.

For longtime fans, his 2006 RAW appearance remains a fun piece of mid-2000s WWE nostalgia — a time when the company was pulling in all manner of celebrities to keep the product in the broader cultural conversation. Whether or not he ever changes his mind, Steve-O’s brief brush with WWE left enough of an impression that people are still asking about it two decades later.
