During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer briefly discussed Austin Theory’s booking in NXT. He said that the company is already positioning him to make another move back to the main roster soon enough.

“They clearly have big plans for Austin Theory because of his physique, although he was already on the main roster and they sent him down. Now they’re grooming him to come back.
