WWE Raw star and the current and two times WWE United States champion Austin Theory who is also the winner of the Money in the Bank ladder match of 2022 recently talked about he is recent WrestleMania 39 match with John Cena and claimed that he was evolving faster than The Champ did.
Austin Theory remained one of the biggest projects of WWE since joining the main roster in 2021. He was never been a very big name in the NXT throughout his time on the development territory of WWE. Nobody ever thought that he could be such a big deal on the main roster of WWE.
Austin Theory Claims He Is Evolving Faster Than John Cena Did
But he went on to become one of the top stars of WWE Monday Night Raw in less than one year time. Vince McMahon saw the next big thing in him. However, after the arrival of Triple H, it was looking like that he might lose his push. But most of the fans wanted to see him getting pushed so Triple H had no other option but to keep pushing him.
At WrestleMania 39 he got the biggest opportunity of his career when he got to face the former 16 times WWE World Champion John Cena where he defended his United States Championship against the former champion. Theory had been a lifelong John cena fan so it had been a huge opportunity for him to prove his worth. He defeated Cena at the Grandest Stage of them all and it was certainly the biggest victory of his career.
Austin Theory who is also the winner of the Money in the Bank ladder match of 2022 recently spoke to WrestleBinge where he talked about he is recent WrestleMania 39 match with John Cena and claimed that he was evolving faster than The Champ. He said;
“I am not the John Cena of this generation. I am the Austin Theory. That’s all there is. John Cena, you can put me in that category if you want, but it’s probably because I’m excelling at such a fast rate, and people can see it, but I’m certainly gonna excel past that. I’m 25. How many championships did John Cena have at 24? I was the United States Champion at 24. He didn’t have any. So just putting that into perspective. There’s only one Austin Theory.
“It’s almost like nobody gets the message here. Everybody loves relating to the past. Everybody loves bringing back the old legends. They love bringing them back, letting them live their glory days. That’s what it’s all about, and it’s not.
“It’s not about that. So why not point out the guy that literally has carried the WWE well over a decade, somebody that, even if you don’t watch WWE, you know who John Cena is. Even before the Hollywood, you knew who he was. There’s no bigger mountain than John Cena.”
