WWE Raw star and the current Mr Money in the Bank Austin Theory who is also a farmer WWE United States champion recently said that he failed to cash in his Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam because of the ridiculously long entrance ramp.
Austin Theory started his WWE career through the NXT where he had never been portrayed as a big star, not even a mid card wrestler. But upon his main roster arrival last year after the draft, he had been presented as the next big thing of WWE as Mr McMahon himself introduced him as the next WWE Universal champion.
Austin Theory Makes Funny Claim For Failing To Cash In At Summerslam
He won the WWE United States Championship earlier this year and also the WWE Money in the Bank which guarantees a world title opportunity at anytime. In spite of losing the WWE United States Championship to Bobby Lashley, his potential was never been sacrificed by WWE.
But every time he attempted to cash in his contract he failed. The first time he made an attempt was at SummerSlam when the WWE Universal heavyweight champion Roman Reigns was defending his Championship Against The Mighty Brock Lesnar. He attempted the cash in but he failed.
He made the next attempt at the Clash at the Castle pay per view event where Roman Reigns defended his title against Drew McIntyre. When he was about to cash in his contract he got punched right into the face by Tyson Fury who was in the crowd. The way it is heading, it looks like he might fail to cash in the contract to win a title.
Austin Theory who is also a farmer WWE United States champion recently spoke to NBC Sports Boston where he said that he failed to cash in his Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam because of the ridiculously long entrance ramp. He said;
“You know something that I have picked up on is that you can’t tell people when you’re gonna cash in. To be fair, I haven’t got to speak about this, it just kinda got blown over. The reason why I wasn’t able to successfully cash in at SummerSlam is because of how ridiculously long the ramp was. Like, did you see how long I was running [for]? Who would have been able to cash in, that was impossible. Did I know about that? No.”
“I knew these guys were going to destroy each other, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. But did I know that the entrance was gonna be like two miles? Like, c’mon. After running two miles, it’s just not as normal as running down the ramp at Raw or another pay-per-view.”
