#5 Reason for Austin Theory's push on RAW
The young Austin Theory has become a prominent figure since his arrival on RAW. It looks as though Vince McMahon has taken a personal interest in Theory and will be 'guiding' him on RAW.
This week on RAW, McMahon had Theory sit with him the whole time and learn a few important aspects of the game. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has stated that the reason behind Theory getting a special treatment is because WWE sees a big star in him thanks to the interest he's drawing from teenage viewers.
"The idea here is that Theory's match did well, particularly with teenagers, at holding the audience and he is young, so give him the rub sitting next to Vince."
Austin Theory has been praised by fans and critics, and is even compared to a young John Cena. It will be interesting to see how WWE proceeds with the story on RAW and how Vince McMahon's involvement with Theory helps him rise in WWE.
