Austin Theory’s booking looking incredibly strong as he won the Money in the Bank contract. He was actually Vince McMahon’s final MITB winner, which is another notch in his belt. Austin Theory then worked a program with Vince McMahon himself through last year’s WrestleMania. Then Vince McMahon retired and Theory lost his Money in the Bank contract on a filed US Title cash-in.
Although Austin Theory failed to cash in his MITB contract, he did become United States Champion eventually. Now, he has an epic encounter ahead of him against John Cena.
While speaking to Fightful, Austin Theory was asked about his journey through WWE so far. He openly admitted that he is not sure that his WrestleMania match against John Cena would have even happened if things turned out different for him.
“Now where I’m at—and it’s funny I say now—but I don’t know if I’d change anything about what happened with it, just because it was the changing of the guard. It was literally making everything different and once that briefcase was off of me, it was almost like I was able to set everything around. But would we have been able to get that same impact if I didn’t have that Money in the Bank story? So I think it’s all important, and I think, to me, it always works out the best way it should. I think that’s what happened with it.”
