July 22, 2001. Invasion. Stone Cold Steve Austin turned his back on the WWF and joined the Alliance. And then he celebrated with Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Paul Heyman by drinking beer in the ring. 🍺
This is one of the most shocking heel turns in WWE history. Austin, the biggest star of the Attitude Era, sided with the WCW/ECW invaders. The image of him sharing a beer with the McMahons and Heyman while the WWF locker room watched in disbelief is unforgettable.
Jim Ross was on commentary that night. His reaction said everything without needing to be scripted. Watch the moment unfold and decide for yourself: was this the greatest betrayal in wrestling, or the moment the Invasion storyline lost its way?
