WWE Raw star and the current WWE Mr Money in the Bank Theory who is also a former WWE United States champion recently talked about the retirement of Vince McMahon and Triple H taking over the creative department. He also discussed why he did not want to change his name.
Theory started his WWE career through the NXT where he was never been pushed, not even as a mid card star. When WWE decided to draft him to Monday night RAW last year, nobody has any special expectation from him at the main roster since he was already a jobber in the NXT.
Austin Theory Talks The Retirement Of Vince McMahon
But surprisingly he got a very good push on the main roster upon his debut. He got a WrestleMania match as well as he won the WWE United States Championship and the WWE Money in the Bank as well. Everybody was expecting that he was going to be the next big thing of WWE. Even Mr McMahon addressed him as the future WWE Universal champion.
But after Mr. McMahon announced his retirement, It looked like that the push of Theory would be gone. He would not be pushed as a main event star anymore. Even Roman Reigns mocked him with the “Who’s Your Daddy” chants in SmackDown. But right now it looks like he might not be pushed as a main event star, but he will receive a decent mid card push.
Theory who is also a former WWE United States champion recently spoke to SHAK Wrestling and CBS Sports where he talked about the retirement of Vince McMahon and Triple H taking over the creative department. He also discussed why he did not want to change his name. He said;
“The first thing you think of is, ‘Well who is in charge?’ As soon as I found out who the team was — Stephanie, Triple H, Nick Khan, Bruce Prichard — having those people, I have a good relationship with all of them,” Theory said. “I think the Mr. McMahon retirement got a lot of us. We’ve seen him forever and he laid the foundation. Literally, there are all these superstars because of Mr. McMahon. I think it was like a, ‘Wow, that’s really happening.’ That’s kind of where it got me.
“As far as creative and the future, no worries about that just because of the talent and being with Triple H before. Knowing his strategies and his creative power and the direction he looks at things. And not only having him. We have Stephanie, we have Nick Khan and we have Bruce Prichard.
“These are all eyes that am re on the game in different ways. I think when it comes to that foundation that Mr. McMahon laid for us, here are these people to give us a bunch of creativity. Here it is. I think there is no better time than now. Especially just speaking on the talent that is involved on the roster. We have a hell of a roster. It’s very exciting to know what the future is and it’s going to be very competitive.”
