Just want to say here, so thrre's a chance it gets seen. I would write a program with Tired of Waller Going Overboard Heel Theory vs Mask Starting To Slip Face Cody Rhodes months long double-turn. Both guys could benefit from the character change, and Theory could get over HUGE. He needs a chance to shine as himself, he's got the right mindset to really BE a hero to kids, as a dialed up version of himself. Not enough good-guys these days, and he'd do well. He just needs the chance.

[@bygraceiamsaved5088]

Thank you both for the great interview.

[@rogelioorroger797]

We need Austin Theory at the top. Someone who is passionate about this business and industry. Hopefully a future WWE champion. 🤞🏽

[@bradbod9036]

I think a good way to turn him face would be if and when Logan comes back we know they probably will throw a title on him and have theory be the one to take him out

[@ryancromer2110]

Almost everyone from main event to nxt is passionate about the business. I hope Austin grows, but he needed the humbling after being Vinces hand picked guy who didn't earn it

[@P17RAS]

Everyone is passionate about the business and industry hence why their in it

[@RomanReigns-AcknowledgeMe]

Lowkey, the CVV interviews have been making me like underrated wrestlers more than ever! Keep it up! I seriously enjoy diving into their lives and who they are as a person, makes me root for them so much more!!! A TOWN DOWN! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@fighting1fefnir]

I will never forget John Cena coming out at Wrestlemania 39 with the Make-A-Wish kids and hearing one of them clear as day yell "You better win!" at Cena as he went to the ring, only for Theory to beat him in front of said Make-A-Wish kids. One of the funniest things I've ever seen on WWE programming.

I literally thought about that the other day 😂

[@simenzewedlamini360]

Newsflash it’s not even. Funny what so funny about it plus it’s not something to laugh at anyways clown!

[@leedgHDG]

Cena was probably gonna win, then the kid said that, so Cena decided to take that joy away from him 😂, that was Cena’s heel turn to that kid 😂

[@HulkVahkiin]

I caught that too, haha

[@PhantomOverlordX2]

To think he went from being Johnny's side kick in NXT. To TWO time US Champion, Money in the bank, WWE Tag Team Champion. Beating Cena at Mania. Mad.

[@pranjalsaxena4455]

winning and losing doesn't matter in the business. It's the impact. Look at people like ziggler and r truth. And after all that cena has achieved, he should let the next generation surpass him and give them a big push. If cena wins, it dosent matter but for theory its everything

[@regansimpson1930]

I’m sorry but I don’t understand what people see in theory honestly. He’s young I get it but there’s plenty of other wrestlers who have double the talent and are much more entertaining than theory at his age so what’s so special about Theory other than Vince choosing him to be. Seems like a nice guy though.

[@adrian_lmx1840]

Once he turns babyface

[@BridgeTrollForge]

I came back into WWE last year at the Rumble. That was the first I'd watched since probably 2007. From the minute I saw Austin Theory, I was sold. I've been singing his praises since the first time I saw him work. He's smooth, safe, and you can tell he just GETS how everything goes together. The way he said that flubbed superplex with Orton a few months ago... Dude's fuckin' money, and I really hope more people start seeing him for the talent he truly is.

[@returnofthematch]

Theory would make a great paul heyman guy

[@craigmoen1430]

Nah. Heyman is for people who can't, or won't, cut a promo. Theory just needs to drop the gym-bro-moron aspect of his gimmick, and he'll get over, massively. He's good at playing an idiot(which he clearly is not), but the dumb guy gimmick is keeping him stuck in midcard. He has real potential to be a really good main event face or heel, but he has to be taken seriously for him to move up.

people don’t give CVV enough credit, i swear these podcasts help people get over more than almost anything else

[@Blondybeastfit]

Randy was right : Austin Theory is the most polite, well spoken and (Ill add) intelligent. Im even more amazed now, as a woman figure bodybuilder+trainer whos all about MMC, to hear him talk so passionately about it !! Its an art to master, but it is at the core of building any muscle/physique !! I only trained my clients and myself that way. Its one of the most rarest thing for me to hear someone talk and relate to on a whole other level, I admire him. Thank you both for that amazing interview and conversations, and will keep watching his career closely.

Babyface turn/run is going to go crazy

Here’s hoping that Theory gets another push definitely has it down, all he needs is time on his side.

[@edgecrusher018]

He’s 27. He has at least 15-20 years barring injury or Hollywood.

[@ericmcloughlin5984]

He is so likeable in interviews like this. That’s a testament to how great he is as a heel in the WWE though. It is SO easy to hate his character in WWE, especially ever since he’s been teaming up with Grayson Waller haha

[@619XxCanadaxX916]

Ricochet needs to take notes from Austin Theory. Man is 10 years younger than him but Austin is many years wiser.

[@Uso.slee685]

This dude deserves to be a world champion in the near future. I can see him being a heel one, or a baby face one. Because he's that good on mic, and his wrestling skills are awesome and he has a great mature vibe about him especially with how much he's learned throughout his time within the WWE. I really hope he goes real far in the WWE, much deserved. Great interview

Seeing Austin Theory and The Rock in Denver was magic. The arena was so loud.

Austin theory is going to be a mega star one day. You can tell by how humble and appreciative he is at such a young age that as long as he keeps on being true to his goal, himself and stay out of trouble, he will make it BIG

[@diegoprodriguez]

Ngl I wasn’t really convinced could Theory could stand on his own as a face, but after this interview, if he can show that kinda heart, and maybe pulls in a bit of the “lovable oaf” he was in NXT, I could see Theory really doing well as a Face, post Waller

He really has modelled his life and attitude after his idol Cena

I’m gonna make a prediction right now but I say in a few weeks time A-Town-Down Under will be split up and Mr. Austin Theory will be Face and Mr. Grayson Waller is gonna be Heel and I think we are gonna get Austin Theory vs Grayson Waller at WrestleMania 41 so that Austin and Grayson can show the world what they can do for the future of the company. So this is my prediction in a few weeks they will be a betrayal by Grayson Waller on Austin Theory and A-Town-Down Under will be done and I think we will get Austin Theory vs Grayson Waller at WrestleMania 41.
