1) Austin Theory’s RAW Push & WWE Future
Austin Theory was recently kicked out of Zelina Vega’s faction on RAW. On the very same episode, he ended up joining Seth Rollins’ faction to become one of his followers. This came as a surprise to many as it was expected that Theory was going to go right back to NXT.
According to journalist Tom Colohue, Theory has a really bright future in WWE.
Colohue says that people backstage (in WWE) love Theory. This includes Triple H and Paul Heyman:
Most wrestling fans and people who are listening to the podcast will be aware that Theory was going to be bounced straight back to NXT. That clearly was not the plan. We’ve called Theory lucky before but right now he’s taken every opportunity and people backstage love this guy.
They are desperate to see him succeed otherwise he wouldn’t have even come up from NXT in the first place. It’s not just Zelina Vega singing his praises, you’ve got Triple H and you’ve got Paul Heyman expecting great things. When you pair him with Seth Rollins, I think I do as well.
My Take:
- Theory has really taken his opportunity and ran with it since being called up to the WWE main roster. I am happy for him and am excited to see how his pairing with Seth Rollins goes on RAW.
