Austin Theory is steadily building his reputation as one of WWE’s up-and-coming talents, showcasing his skills on television each week. The young wrestler has established himself as a formidable champion, with a solid record as the United States Champion, and continues to develop his abilities with each passing match.
In 2020, Theory received a major push on the main roster with the backing of former WWE Chairman and CEO, Vince McMahon. The then-25-year-old Superstar was mentored by McMahon and saw significant success, including a Money in the Bank contract win.
While speaking with Inside the Ropes, Austin Theory stated working with Vince McMahon was a thrilling experience. He explained that plans were subject to change at any given time, leaving room for flexibility in creative decisions.
“It’s like one of these things with WWE. And it’s so funny because this was back working with Vince McMahon – expect the unexpected. It’s just one of those things where there’s nothing that’s really set in stone and nothing that’s really mapped out. At any moment, anything can happen. It’s one of those things, you don’t really know where something’s gonna go. Honestly, you just show up and give it everything you’ve got and that’s what I do every time.”
