Austin Theory Reveals The Backstage Reaction To His WrestleMania 38 Segment With Steve Austin And Vince McMahon

WWE

Austin Theory had his biggest match of his career against Pat McAfee at WrestleMania 38 and has revealed the backstage reaction following.

Theory lost to McAfee on WrestleMania Sunday and then helped WWE Chairman Vince McMahon beat the former NFL punter before received a Stunner from Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Speaking to Mark Andrews on My Love Letter To Wrestling, the Raw star recalled when he was informed of Austin’s involvement in his segment.

Theory said:

“I’m walking down the hall, and this is the second day of WrestleMania, we’re a few hours away from the show. Stone Cold is getting ready to get on a golf cart because the arena is so big and they’re driving him around. He had someone driving him around and he stopped and was talking to someone. I was like, ‘I have to introduce myself, this is my first time meeting Stone Cold,’ I introduced myself and he hangs onto my hand, looks me in the eyes, and is like, ‘I’ll be seeing you later tonight.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ It was pretty cool. A little bit later, I got pulled aside and it was super private, but basically what was going to happen, and I was like, ‘wait, what? What’s going on?'”

Theory had an amazing sell of the Stunner, jumping up in the air in hilarious fashion. Meanwhile, Mr. McMahon had a less-than-stellar Stunner sell that was equally as hysterical.

When asked about the backstage reaction following the segment, Theory answered:

“It was really cool. When Mr. McMahon walked to the back, everyone was screaming at him. It was a lot of the female wrestlers, they were screaming at him and messing with him. He was like, ‘Okay, okay.’ It was proud, like being proud of your dad. Pat comes through and everyone was proud of what we did out there and everyone enjoyed it. You know it went well when everyone in the back enjoyed it. It was awesome. Even days after and now, hearing so much about it, you know you made that WrestleMania moment, which is really cool to me.”

On this week’s WWE Raw, Austin Theory officially changed his name to simply “Theory” following his interaction with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
