Theory discusses the return of ‘Papa John’ to WWE.
On Monday’s RAW, Theory interrupted Johnny Gargano’s return promo and the two had a back and forth, referencing The Way as a faction. The segment would end with Gargano superkicking Theory to a big pop from the crowd.
In an interview with Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston, Theory discussed Gargano’s return.
“You know what, when the crowd was chanting ‘Who’s your daddy’ like they always do, part of me wanted to say, ‘Papa John’, but something just didn’t seem right. I think we all seen what it was. The thing is that a guy that took me under his wing and showed me the ropes and helped me out, and I admitted that, I admitted that to the world. Then, he shows up on my show though, somewhere where I’ve been paving the road. Somewhere where I’ve done things that he hasn’t done. We all heard on Raw all of the achievements and all of the dreams he [has], [well] I’ve already done them. Why would you not wanna learn from me now? Is it because of the age? It’s very rude and as we seen how it turned out, you said it yourself, it’s jealousy. It clearly is. He already knows that the mountain that Theory is on, he’ll never be able to climb it. That’s just reality. I guess I’m going to have to show him the way,”
