WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin has taken on the biggest and baddest stars the wrestling business has ever offered throughout his glittering 14-year career.

Austin, 59, made a name for himself after gruelling and unforgettable clashes against the likes of The Undertaker, Kane, The Rock, Shawn Michaels and many more.

And the six-time world champion would often get the better of them despite the fact he often had to compete while injured under hellacious circumstances, such as inside steel cages.

But it seems like the ex-WWE Champion has finally met his match in the face of the unlikeliest foe.

And that is none other than one of his chickens called Rudy who has already started to outsmart the American grappler.

The Texas star was at his Broken Skull Ranch tending to his hens as he would take some of them to the penthouse to lay an egg.

However, Rudy wasn't feeling like it and decided to go for a little stroll in the farm.

The Hall of Famer came to pick her up and decided to record his new challenge for his 6.4million followers on Instagram.

Austin said: "This is Rudy, I just took her out of her penthouse because I thought she was going to lay an egg.

"But she wasn't ready and she came over here and got me. So I'm gonna put her back inside and let her lay an egg to get about her business. She's getting pretty smart."

Austin, though, has such a soft spot for his animals that he decided to let Rudy take her time, even though she was in absolutely no rush: "Come and do your thing, you came and you got me. Do you wanna lay an egg or do you not wanna lay an egg?"

But the chicken then walked away much to the dismay of the Hall of Famer who scoffed: "Oh, you little mother f****r... Come here baby. Rudy, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. "

Austin then looked at the camera and said: "Rudy says, 'Hey, f**k you. Let's do it the hard way'..."

But then The Texas Rattlesnake finally managed to get the animal in the room.

However, it still took some time to get her in the penthouse as he said: "Rudy has entered the building!

"You know where the door is, go around... Rudy, don't be high maintenance..."

It seemed like Austin vanquished his new foe who finally made it to the penthouse, but there is no confirmation as to whether Rudy finally laid that egg.

Stone Cold's fans were left laughing their socks off as they stormed the comments' section.

One follower posted: "If you want Rudy to lay some eggs, gimme a hell yeah."

Another wrote: "Hell yeah Rudy!"

A third said: "This is the most wholesome Instagram page in existence."

This fan commented: "Stone Cold caring about his animals is the best thing ever."

And that one stated: "Idk why I enjoyed this soo much."
