What will happen with Austin Theory with Triple H in charge?
By Amit Shukla
Men’s Money in the Bank winner, Theory has been absent from Monday Night Raw due to personal reasons. Vince pushed Theory to the moon, but some wonder if that will continue with Triple H in charge. Some think his place on the roster will be dialed back and perhaps he will lost the briefcase entirely or lose the cash-in opportunity. Raw continues to receive great reviews from the fans, but what will happen to Theory?
Theory plays an excellent heel, and his skills can and will help other superstars get more fan appreciation. People want to see him get attacked by other superstars, but is that the only thing in the plan? Will WWE waste a superstar like this, especially since it’s a new regime? The answer is a no because if you have the talent, Hunter will do everything to make you a star.
The big question is, how will Theory cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase? Fans have made it clear they do not want to see Theory on top and even more don’t want to see him on television. So, does he add his name to the list of wrestlers who had an unsuccessful cash-in? This theory doesn’t fit for Theory (see what I did there). Perhaps they can go in another direction. The briefcase gives you the authority to cash in on any championship, and what if Theory picked up another heel partner and won the tag team championships? Shocking? It’s the shock factor that will favor the current MITB briefcase holder.
WWE has done surprising things with the briefcase in the past. It includes cash-in by Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31. This change of plan surprised everyone, including Seth Rollins himself, as this was a first. Hunter can pull off another surprise for the fans when Theory can pick a partner, let’s say The Miz, and become the tag team champion. With The Miz as his mentor and tag team partner, Theory will be in good hands and rise the ranks. It would help him hold other championships too, and eventually help him become a world champion. The eventual growth will help his character.
