There are a lot of people that want to see Brock Lesnar vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin at WrestleMania 32, but Vince McMahon is not one of them.

According to The Wrestling Observer, McMahon was unhappy with the ending to the WWE Network podcast where Austin interviewed Paul Heyman and the founder of ECW brought up a potential Austin vs. Lesnar match at WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
Per the report, there are no plans for the match to occur and McMahon was upset about the two discussing and creating interest for a bout that isn't in the cards and will not be happening at WrestleMania 32.

While Austin may not have been ready to make a comeback as he has said in the past, the Observer reports that there are also still some underlying issues between McMahon and the Texas Rattlesnake that are hampering such a match from happening, though the specifics weren't revealed.
Austin did two podcasts on the WWE Network with McMahon and Triple H, but there were reportedly some issues between the CEO and the WWE Hall of Famer afterward, which led to Chris Jericho carrying the following two podcasts with Stephanie McMahon and John Cena.
Austin obviously returned on Monday to interview Heyman, but whatever the problem was between McMahon and Austin in the past may still be lurking between the two as there is said to be a stance that the six-time WWE Champion will not be returning to the ring.
McMahon didn't know that Austin and Heyman were going to talk about that topic during the podcast and he was said to be unhappy once the show was over.
There was reportedly also tension between McMahon and Austin after the show ended and the chairman said that he wanted the story to go away quickly and quietly.
Austin took to his podcast this week to dispel rumors that he'd return to the ring for the first time since 2003 while Heyman appeared on Chael Sonnen's podcast and said there was "zero chance" that such a match would occur.
Austin vs. Lesnar is not likely to be a marquee match at WrestleMania 32.
