Austin Theory Says He Wants To Retire John Cena

Austin Theory has been quickly rising the ranks on WWE Raw since his call-up from NXT in the 2021 WWE Draft, having locked horns with numerous top stars, including WWE Champion Big E.

Austin Theory grew up as a massive John Cena fan, as most people born in 1997 did. Theory recently spoke with Alternative Sport, where he was posed the question of whether he would rather win the Tag Team Championship with Cena, or retire him at WrestleMania.

Theory made it clear which option he would choose:

“I think for Austin Theory, yeah, you’d have to really not see Cena anymore ’cause I’d have to retire him. I’d have to do it, man,”

Theory carried on, saying that one of his goals is just to feature at WrestleMania, whether it be for a championship or not. He said:

“For myself, I love going at a steady pace and being prepared for every time I’m pushed forward to a situation. Yeah, I think a United States Championship match (at WrestleMania) would be cool. An Intercontinental Championship match, a WWE Championship match. I think, for Austin Theory, it’s not about how everybody else sees things like, ‘Oh, the Universal Title is the biggest match. Oh, the United States title is not as big.’ I think every match on WrestleMania stands alone for itself, so, I think anything I do on that show, it’ll just be great. So I can’t really pinpoint a certain thing because I think everything you can do at WrestleMania is great, so let’s just see what happens and I’ll definitely be prepared for it, whatever it is.”

Technically Theory has already competed at WrestleMania, as he and Angel Garza failed to capture the Raw Tag Team Championship from the Street Profits at WrestleMania 36. Granted that took place in an empty WWE Performance Center, so it’s not really what he means.

Theory has recently been hanging around with Vince McMahon on WWE television after stealing his $100 million Golden Cleopatra Egg at Survivor Series.
