Theory could become the youngest WWE Champion if he cashes in at SummerSlam
@WWE @_Theory1 @HeymanHustle The future youngest universal WWE champion 🏆 https://t.co/HBkh76mqH4
Theory could become the youngest WWE Champion ever if he cashes in his Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam this weekend.
The record is currently held by this Saturday's title challenger, Brock Lesnar, who won the WWE Championship at the age of 25 years, 1 month, 13 days when he defeated The Rock in the main event of SummerSlam 2002.
Theory, who already holds the title of the youngest MITB winner at the age of 24, will turn 25 three days after The Biggest Party of the Summer. He has been teasing a cash-in on SmackDown and was even beaten down by Lesnar this past week. If he successfully cashes in on Saturday, he will be the youngest ever to hold the belt.
Despite that, he is too old for the title of the youngest world champion in the company, as that honor belongs to Randy Orton. The Viper won the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of SummerSlam in 2004 at the age of 24.
