Austin Theory’s journey in WWE has seen a significant resurgence since his fall from the United States Championship to Rey Mysterio, a WWE Hall of Famer, last fall.
The talented wrestler has experienced notable developments in his career, from a memorable promo segment with The Rock on Friday Night SmackDown in September to forming an alliance with Grayson Waller.
Additionally, Theory’s in-ring prowess has notably improved, showcasing his commitment to growth as a competitor. However, the direction of Austin Theory and Grayson Waller’s tag team remains uncertain as they navigate the Road to WrestleMania.
Taking to Instagram, Austin Theory shared a new photo captioned “Big Body Theory,” offering a glimpse into his current mindset and persona.
In recent weeks, there has been speculation within the WWE Universe regarding the potential dissolution of the partnership between Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
Rumors have circulated suggesting a potential turn, with the former US Champion transitioning into a babyface role. Interestingly, despite Waller’s heel status, he has garnered a fair share of supporters, adding intrigue to the dynamic between the two.
A pivotal moment in Austin Theory’s recent trajectory occurred on the September 15 episode of SmackDown when The Rock made a stunning return to WWE. During a verbal exchange with Pat McAfee in the ring, Theory stood his ground confidently.
Jim Cornette, on his podcast, the Jim Cornette Experience, lauded Theory’s growth, considering it the best promo delivered by Theory to date. Cornette emphasized the noticeable comfort and natural demeanor displayed by Theory during the segment, praising his ability to mock and deride McAfee without appearing intimidated.
The veteran wrestling commentator acknowledged Theory’s maturity as a WWE Superstar, underscoring the wrestler’s evolution since a previous encounter with John Cena.
Despite Cornette’s observations, Theory has experienced a surge in popularity, particularly following the impactful SmackDown promo involving Pat McAfee and The Rock. As Austin Theory’s trajectory continues to unfold, the WWE Universe eagerly anticipates the next chapters in his evolving career.
