Austin Theory is one of the young and rising stars of WWE, who had a solid run as part of Johnny Gargano’s stable, The Way. He made his way to the main roster and further honed his craft after that. Theory also came to know about his Steve Austin spot right before WrestleMania 38.
Austin Theory duked it out against Pat McAfee at WrestleMania 38 Night 2. However, he was not able to beat McAfee but had a solid performance nonetheless.
Afterwards, Steve Austin made a surprise appearance and delivered the stunner on Austin, McMahon and even McAfee. While speaking with The New York Post, Austin Theory revealed that he came to know about the Steve Austin spot just before WrestleMania 38.
“Going into WrestleMania, obviously I knew me and Pat McAfee were going to have a match and then later finding out Mr. McMahon is gonna have a match against Pat McAfee. Then the whole Stone Cold thing, was kind of finding that out last minute and just trying to digest that and at the same time having I feel like my first real WrestleMania match. There’s a lot going on. That WrestleMania moment I think for me, it did nothing but great things for me.”
Austin Theory is currently the WWE United States Champion and is feuding with Mustafa Ali. We’ll have to see how his reign will be booked in the coming months. Odds are, he has a bright future ahead of him.
