Current champion wants to face Randy Orton and Steve Austin in WWE (Exclusive)
Randy Orton and Stone Cold Steve Austin are widely viewed as two of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. Austin Theory, the current United States Champion, would like to step into the ring with both men.
Theory has previously competed in multi-man matches against Orton, but the two have yet to meet in a one-on-one encounter. The 25-year-old also shared the spotlight with Stone Cold in a segment at WrestleMania 38 last year. However, their paths have never crossed in an official match.
In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, Theory was asked whether he wants to face either man one day:
"Definitely Randy Orton, definitely Stone Cold Steve Austin. Me and Randy, we'll have a fresh start. I think that'll be really good. But Stone Cold Steve Austin, he hit me with a Stunner last year and I didn't forget about that. I didn't forget." [3:12 – 3:28]
Watch the video above to find out Theory's thoughts on several WWE topics, including his behind-the-scenes bond with Jey Uso.
