Austin Theory gets unexpected praise from 34-year-old WWE Superstar following big win on RAW

WWE Superstar Austin Theory recently received some very unexpected praise from a 34-year-old pro wrestler. The man in question is his tag team partner Grayson Waller, with whom he secured a massive win on Monday Night RAW last week.

Austin Theory and Grayson Waller’s A-Town Down Under recently defeated The Awesome Truth on the red brand. This was a big achievement for the duo. However, they failed to carry this momentum against The Street Profits in the number-one contender match for the WWE Tag Team Championship qualifier match. But this loss didn’t dampen their spirits, as Theory secured a big match for Waller.

Theory spoke to SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and got the Aussie superstar a match with Kevin Owens on August 16, 2024. Notably, The Prizefighter is the number one contender for Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE title at Bash in Berlin. Following this, Waller added a tweet on X praising Austin Theory with a video where they met some young fans.

“Theory really is a good bloke. First he gets me a match against the #1 contender, and then he’s too nice to tell this little loser she’s never gonna make it,” wrote Waller.

Austin Theory may soon betray Grayson Waller

While Austin Theory got his tag team partner a big match, it doesn’t seem to indicate that things are right between the duo. Before they lost their championship to The DIY on the July 5, 2024, episode of SmackDown, Johnny Gargano pointed out several instances of Waller’s selfishness to Theory.

Moreover, this was also visible when both teams clashed with each other, and the Aussie used his partner as a human shield. Adding another bookmark to this, Waller talked smack against boxing world champ Terence Crawford and later provoked him to punch Theory instead.

So far, Theory hasn’t responded to these telltale signs of being used by Grayson Waller. But setting his teammate up for a match with Kevin Owens was a move that came completely out of the blue.

Even Waller was a little confused by this and asked Theory why he vouched for him to fight Owens. Theory simply smiled and noted that he just did what seemed best to him. But this could be his attempt to put Waller in a dangerous situation the same way he has been put through in recent weeks. It would be interesting to see if Austin Theory has a plan up his sleeve to turn on his partner.
