Austin Theory Addresses Recent Character Change

After failing to cash in his Money in the Bank contract for the United States Championship earlier this month, Austin Theory underwent a character change, moving away from being a joker who takes selfies.

Instead, Theory has developed a more aggressive side and that paid dividends at Survivor Series WarGames as he defeated Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley in Triple Threat action to become a two-time United States Champion.

Speaking with BT Sport after his title win, Theory addressed his change in attitude, saying:

"It's as wild as it has been for everybody else. You go from being so used to something to a quick switch and pretty much, that quick switch changes everything but, for a good way I feel like because for me, it was a chance for Austin Theory to evolve and go to that next level and you know, I can't take selfies forever and be a goofball so it's finding that next chapter and what's gonna get me to becoming a world champion and I think we're on the right track."

Theory was Vince McMahon's protege in 2022 until the former WWE CEO's retirement. The 25-year-old looked primed to tumble down the card but he looks set to push on following his win at Survivor Series WarGames.
