While it is now confirmed that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be at Raw next Monday, what will happen when The Texas Rattlesnake and his frequent most recent critic, Santino Marella, are under the same roof at Los Angeles' STAPLES Center?

Marella has been ridiculing Stone Cold for weeks about his acting abilities in The Condemned, most recently giving a humiliating impersonation of him this week on Raw. There is speculation that the fiery Italian, given his brazen critiques, is not afraid of The Rattlesnake and does not intend to run away from him.

In fact, the former Intercontinental Champion allegedly believes he has no reason to be afraid. There is speculation that he believes that if Stone Cold Steve Austin intended to do anything to him, he would have done it already.

It remains to be seen if there is any validity to Marella's claims. But given the former WWE Champion's history, perhaps Marella should prepare for a Stone Cold ass-whippin'.

Who knows what will actually happen when Marella and Stone Cold are both at Raw? Who knows if Austin will even confront Marella? We'll all find out live on Monday Night when Raw comes to the City of Angels live at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
