The arena also confirmed the WWE Hall of Famer’s appearance here.

This will be Austin’s first time in Pittsburgh in 17 years, according to a release.

March 16 holds significance to Austin’s wrestling persona as “Austin 3:16” was a catchphrase that became part of his character and is one of WWE’s most iconic T-shirts.

Austin recognizes “#316 Day”every year, usually with a tweet referring back to his days in the ring.
