The former United States Champion seemingly looked upset at Grayson Waller and his actions on Friday Night SmackDown, when Waller used Theory as a shield during his match against Johnny Gargano before securing a win.
Austin Theory didn't get a chance to speak or address the events, as Waller took all the time and spoke on Theory's behalf. In the end, the Tag Team Champions walked off in different directions, as A-Town seemingly looked unhappy.
Multi-time WWE World Champion has high hopes for Austin Theory
After signing with WWE in 2019, Austin Theory has made a name for himself in professional wrestling. The rising star is no stranger to success, as the previous regime was heavily behind him as the next face of the company.
Speaking to Senior Editor Bill Apter in an exclusive with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Randy Orton spoke highly of the star and believes Theory possesses the tools to become a world champion in WWE.
"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. 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," Orton said.
