Seth Rollins was recently interviewed by Sporting News. This was in order to promote his street fight against Dominik Mysterio at Summerslam.
During the interview, Seth was asked directly about Austin Theory’s absence from WWE television over the past few months. Theory was playing a big role as one of Rollins’ disciples on RAW before he disappeared.
Here is what Seth had to say about why Theory is off TV:
He had some personal issues that came up so he took some time off to sort through them for the past month or two.
It’s hard right now but we hope everything’s good for him so we hope to have him back sooner than later.
WWE has not publicly commented on Theory’s absence. Dave Meltzer reported recently that he was serving an unannounced suspension.
