Theory has become one of the focal points on the red brand and has been hinting at a feud with former Universal Champion Finn Balor.
Austin Theory has been involved in a storyline with Vince McMahon recently
Austin Theory was drafted to Monday Night RAW earlier this year. After the entire "golden egg" storyline at Survivor Series, it was revealed that Austin Theory was the one whole stole Mr. McMahon's prized possession.
Instead of punishing him, Vince McMahon granted him a shot at the WWE Champion Big E.
Over the last few weeks, Theory has been involved in several backstage segments with Vince McMahon, where the WWE Chairman is seen guiding him. While it's great to see Mr. McMahon on our TV screens, the segments have been panned by many.
How can @austintheory1 impress @VinceMcMahon? 🤔

Vince Russo has heavily criticized Theory's booking on RAW. While speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing With Russo, the former WWE writer claimed that Vince McMahon makes Austin Theory look like a five-year-old kid.
“He went from here, with a chip on his shoulder, to [a] child. Vince was the father and this was a five-year-old kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. So now I’m supposed to believe this guy was an arrogant heel when he’s letting a 76-year-old slap him?” Russo asked.
Despite all the criticism around the segments, Vince McMahon involving himself clearly indicates that he views Austin Theory as a big star. He is undoubtedly in for a big push, and it is to be seen where this storyline goes next.
