WWE star and former two-time United States Champion Austin Theory says he wants to dethrone that “goof” Cody Rhodes.
At WWE WrestleMania 40 Night Two, Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns to finally finish his story and become the new Undisputed WWE Champion. On the Raw After WrestleMania 40, The Rock confronted the new champion and teased a potential one-on-one showdown in the future.
Another star who has had a confrontation with The Rock in the past is former Money In The Bank winner Austin Theory. The two had an in-ring segment on the September 15, 2023 episode of SmackDown.
Speaking with Lucas Charpiot of Ten Count Media, Austin Theory reflected on his showdown with The Rock and teased a potential match at WrestleMania 41. Taking a shot at Cody Rhodes as well, Theory said:
“Dwayne showed up, but not to save Pat McAfee. Dwayne showed up because he wanted to be famous again, he wanted to be important in WWE. So who did he interrupt? Austin Theory.”
“Then what happened? I put him in his place. Then I did something that nobody has ever done. I stole his catchphrase, and I hit him with it, and I hit him with it before he could hit me with it.”
“So then what? He got insecure, he started freaking out. He started doing the weird Rock stuff. Then he hit me with an elbow. That’s what happened.”
“So what now? ‘The Final Boss’ wants Austin Theory, and Austin Theory will fight ‘The Final Boss’ at WrestleMania 41. Is that what they want?”
“I just gotta take this title from this goof [points to picture of Cody Rhodes]? Is that it? I just gotta make a story up? That’s it? Alright, then that’s what I’ll do.”
Austin Theory and Grayson Waller are set to defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits on the May 3 episode of SmackDown from France.
