Stone Cold Steve Austin has been confirmed for the September 9th edition of Monday Night RAW. Austin will be the moderator of the contract signing between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman.
I wanted to share my theory about what I think will happen during this segment.
The main reason that Austin was brought in for this show was in order to help with ticket sales at Madison Square Garden. While saying that, I still think that Austin could play an interesting role in the segment on RAW.
My idea is that during the contract signing, the lights will turn off. When they turn back on, Bray Wyatt will have locked in the Mandible Claw on Stone Cold Steve Austin. The lights will shut off again and Wyatt will be gone. A confused Strowman and Rollins will try and help Austin to close the segment.
Wyatt appears to be the next challenger for the Universal Title at Hell in a Cell. It would be an interesting way to go if Bray were to play some mind games with Seth and Braun before their match at Clash of Champions. Something like this would also keep fans guessing as to whether or not Bray will be interfering in the Universal Title match. Plus, Wyatt has been attacking a ton of WWE legends as of late, so him going after Austin would fit pretty well.
This could be a solid way to build excitement for both Clash of Champions and Hell in a Cell. It would also really put over Bray and ‘The Fiend’ character.
