Around this time last year Austin Theory was on the receiving end of a major push as he had formed an alliance with Vince McMahon. Theory walked into WrestleMania as Vince McMahon’s chosen one, and a few months later he secured a title shot when he won the Money in the Bank ladder match.
Austin Theory teased cashing in on Roman Reigns several times, but eventually he decided to cash in on Seth Rollins who was holding the United States Championship at the time, and he lost his cash in. Some fans saw this as a burial for Theory, but he has since taken his career in a different path with a slight character change.
Things are looking up for Theory as he’s the current United States Champion and he’s set to defend the belt against John Cena at WrestleMania 39. He recently spoke to Sportskeeda about people who thought his career was over while also discussing the differences between working with Vince McMahon and Triple H.
“The internet will always talk. There was a time where I lost the Money in the Bank briefcase and ‘my career was over.’ Young, 25-year-old Austin Theory, it’s all over. Whatever. ‘How is it working with Mr. McMahon? How is it working with Triple H? Is it better for you, is it worse?’ Man, it’s great.
Working with Mr. McMahon, it was wild. It was expect the unexpected. I never knew what was going to happen. Triple H, I have a little bit more of knowing what’s going to happen, but the creativity side is great, I mean, from both sides. I was privileged and blessed to have that guidance from both of them.”
