The mystery has finally been unveiled about the masked man in WWE. It's Austin Theory. The former United States Champion, who had been out of action for the past five months, was behind the attack on CM Punk at Survivor Series: WarGames.
Theory revealed his face on tonight's episode of RAW in Pennsylvania. Once again, he came out to attack Rey Mysterio during his match against Logan Paul in the main event of the show. However, this time, the 28-year-old superstar didn't vanish, but revealed his face.
With this, Austin Theory becomes the fourth member of The Vision on RAW. In this listicle, we will discuss three reasons why Theory joining The Vision will be a huge success.
#3 Getting to work with Paul Heyman in WWE
The first major benefit for Theory would be that he will be under the wing of Paul Heyman. Wrestlers who have worked with Paul Heyman in professional wrestling have only seen a rise in their careers. Heyman is a wrestling genius, and he knows how to extract the best worker from his client.
Theory would be subjected to the same advantage. He hasn't worked with any manager so far in WWE. His career skyrocketed in 2023 when he starred against John Cena to defend his United States Championship a WrestleMania 39. However, it nose-dived after losing the title, which he could not win back. It went further downhill when he aligned himself with Grayson Waller, forming the A-Town Down Under.
However, with him joining The Vision, his career in the Stamford-based promotion can take a turnaround. Paul Heyman can give him direction to shape his career in a better way in the company.
#2 Austin Theory gets much-deserved limelight in WWE
Austin Theory was taken away from the limelight when he was booked to drop the US title two years back. His association with Grayson Waller also didn't do any good for his career.
The company seems to have brought him on the correct path now. His association with The Vision can help boost his career. The Vision is the top heel faction in WWE. In terms of popularity, it even outpaces Solo Sikoa's MFTs.
Theory would be working with a top heel faction on RAW that has a wrestling genius heading the group. Everything-- from his promos to his matches in the company could be perfected by Paul Heyman, and that could do wonders for the 28-year-old superstar.
#1 Austin Theory could be a Paul Heyman guy in the future
By working in The Vision, Austin Theory can also rise up to become the next Paul Heyman guy. Heyman has had only three full-fledged clients in WWE with whom he has spent significant time: Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk. Although he has worked with other superstars like Cesaro, The Undertaker, and Kurt Angle, they aren't typically known as Paul Heyman guys.
Austin Theory can rise to become the Paul Heyman guy. In fact, Theory is already in the good books of Heyman. It was reported that Heyman had pitched about roping in Austin Theory as the next member of The Vision. He wanted to work with Theory, and that's how the former US Champion ended up being in the heel group. Not only this, but Heyman has been fond of Theory even before his WWE debut.
The Wiseman had called him a "Real Superstar" while introducing him before a match at Evolve 131 in 2019. Therefore, it won't be wrong to say that Theory has been picked by Heyman as a member of The Vision, and this could elevate his career in WWE.
It will be interesting to see how Heyman introduces Theory as the new member of The Vision on RAW next week.
