The current WWE United States champion Austin Theory is one of the most legit champions in WWE at this moment. Ever seen joining the main roster, he had been treated as a potential big thing for the future. He has already won the WWE United States Championship two times, he also won the Money in the Bank ladder match last year.
At this moment he is carrying the WWE United States championship for more than seven months and it does not look like he is going to drop the title anytime soon. However he is going to be defending his title against the former four times WWE World Champion Sheamus tomorrow on Friday Night Smackdown.
Smackdown: Austin Theory Could Get Major Challenger for the US Title Tonight
In spite of the fact Sheamus is not a very legit opponent for the United States title at this moment, a victory over the Celtic Warrior would boost his potential as an upper mid card. Theory what’s the top star of Monday night RAW for nearly a year throughout last season.
Recently he was drafted to SmackDown and he is dominating the blue brand of WWE as well. Sheamus was a big name of WWE for a long period of time but he has somehow lost his spark. So we cannot consider him as a very challenging opponent for Theory at this moment.
Austin Theory Was Attacked By LA Knight In A Recent Live Event
But it looks like Theory would receive an actual legit opponent very soon, maybe this week on Smackdown. On the latest house show of WWE, Theory was attacked by the fan favourite LA Knight who also posed with WWE United States Championship after knocking out Theory.
A feud between Theory and LA Knight would be amazing. Knight is indeed one of the most over wrestlers in WWE at this moment, if not the most. Maybe he is more over than Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn. We could clearly see his support at Money in the Bank last Saturday as everybody in London was routing for Knight.
However, there is a very fat chance that Knight is going to take the WWE United States Championship away from Theory at this point. According to various rumours, Triple H is not seeing Knight as a potential champion at this moment. But we would never say never. There is definitely a possibility of him changing his mind after seeing his immense popularity.
