‘All Day’ Austin Theory has recently found himself featured in some hefty segments on Monday Night RAW, most notably sharing a screen with the often illusive Vince McMahon. Theory has undergone one of the strongest pushes in recent memory, even having the opportunity to challenge Big E for the WWE Championship.

Though unsuccessful, Theory’s headlining match against the champ helped keep the audience’s attention for the final act of the show, particularly drawing in a crucial demographic for WWE, that being teenagers.

Producers and writers backstage were reportedly so impressed with this that he is set to continue riding this wave of momentum into 2022. Being such a young star, it’s very likely that Austin Theory is being penned as a future main eventer for the company as they look towards the next generation of mouldable talent. Perhaps we’ll be seeing more from the strange double-act of Vince McMahon and the selfie-obsessed youngster in coming weeks?

Austin Theory first debuted for the company in 2019, briefly appearing in NXT before having a short stint on the main roster as part of Seth Rollins’ fanatical faction. Theory would return to NXT to join Johnny Gargano’s stable, impressing fans and writers alike to the point where he’d be re-called-up to the main roster as part of the 2021 Draft.

The former EVOLVE champion has since feuded with Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio, cementing himself as a superstar to watch going forward.
