Former champion makes a bold claim following recent victory on WWE RAW
A popular WWE Superstar has made a major claim after scoring a win on the most recent edition of Monday Night RAW. The star in question is Austin Theory.
Theory and Grayson Waller made a surprising appearance on the recent edition of the flagship show. The former WWE Tag Team Champions locked horns with The Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) in a tag team match. After an entertaining back-and-forth, A-Town Down Under scored a pinfall victory over the former World Tag Team Champions.
Austin Theory recently took to Instagram to share a video of A-Town Down Under's entrance ahead of their match on RAW. The former United States Champion made a bold claim in the caption.
"You need us," he wrote.
Former WWE Champion claims he is impressed with Austin Theory
Austin Theory has had an intriguing career thus far. The 27-year-old is a former Mr. Money in the Bank and a two-time United States Champion. He and Grayson Waller claimed the SmackDown Tag Team Championship (WWE Tag Team Title) during a Six-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania XL. The heel tag team eventually lost the prized gold to #DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) last month.
In a conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor, Bill Apter, former WWE Champion Randy Orton showered praise on Austin Theory. The veteran stated that Theory was more driven and motivated than his younger version. He further claimed that the 27-year-old would become World Champion one day.
"It's hard. I don't have a crystal ball or anything, but Austin Theory is young, and he's got a great look. I know where his head's at [sic]. I've had plenty of talks with him, and a lot of the things that I did as a kid that I maybe shouldn't have, the distractions that I was confronted with, he doesn't have those. I think he's just a little more gung-ho motivated. He sees the goal. He sees the prize. He knows what he wants. I think he'll definitely be a world champion one day," he said.
Meanwhile, The Apex Predator also made a surprise appearance on RAW this past Monday. The veteran will challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title at Bash in Berlin later this month.
