John Cena's retirement match is the most viral WWE moment at this time, but Monday Night Raw saw a surprising final segment on Dec. 15.
Austin Theory finally revealed himself as the masked man who is backing up "The Vision" in a highly anticipated bout between Logan Paul vs. Rey Mysterio.
Austin Theory Moment Has Arrived
The fact that Austin Theory is returning to television provides a huge opportunity. Even after several chances provided by WWE, Theory never held a top-level position in the company.
This particular storyline has been a prominent aspect of WWE TV since Survivor Series: WarGames, and it is finally on a direct path towards completion, thus putting an end to months of anticipation.
However, after being exposed and being a part of a story corresponding to a top-level position in a key event story along with famous superstars in WWE, there's a huge chance that Theory can establish his position.
Austin Theory Unmasking Reaction From the Crowd
The unmasking moment got a lukewarm reaction from the live audience members. Similarly, the reaction on social media is low. There were speculations among the audience members that Theory might be behind the mask.
According to Daily DDT, the speculations included other unmasking results like Montez Ford and Carmelo Hayes. The current reception might indicate a dilemma for Theory to capture the audience's excitement.
Potential Upcoming Storytelling on Austin Theory
Even if the current tag team titleholders, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, provide some exciting competition, Theory and Reed could end up being the new tag team force. This may also provide AJ Styles with opportunities for other plots while Theory and Reed upgrade the tag team division.
Some predictions could see Theory and Reed become tag team titleholders while Bron Breakker aims for the WWE World Heavyweight title.
Can Austin Theory Finally Break Through?
The WWE has always attempted to position Austin Theory as a top talent. The man has the look, the athleticism, and the skill set to succeed, but failed storylines and mishandling ruined his career.
At last, it seems that the wrestling promotion has finally moved past the masked man angle, and they have the opportunity to start Austin Theory afresh. His future performances in the RAW top tier will go a long way in deciding whether he has what it takes to become a top talent.
