Austin Theory has taken a major shot at an injured WWE Superstar ahead of this week's edition of SmackDown.
A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory) became champions during the Six-Pack Ladder match at WrestleMania XL. Awesome Truth retrieved the other set of titles and was presented with the World Tag Team Championships this past Monday night on RAW. Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Austin Theory took a dig at Big E while discussing The New Day.
The former United States Champion pointed out an action figure of The New Day member and noted it was on the shelf, just like Big E is in real life. The veteran has been out of action for over two years after suffering a broken neck.
"Well alright Big E, you're on the shelf. Just like you are in real life," said Theory. [27:17 to 27:27:21]
