Many WWE fans speculated in 2022 that Triple H might be looking to end Austin Theory’s push as the top star of the future. Eight months into The Game’s creative era, Theory has revealed what he really thinks about the direction of his on-screen character.
Under the stewardship of Vince McMahon, the 25-year-old looked to become a potential World Champion after winning the 2022 Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. With Triple H in charge, he lost the MITB contract and was out of the world title picture.
“The Internet will always talk. I think we all know that. There was a time when I lost the Money in the Bank briefcase and my career was over. Austin Theory, a young 25-year-old, is all over it. Whatever it is, but yeah, there’s always, ‘How was it working with Mr. McMahon? How was it working with Triple H? Is it better for you? Is it worse?’ Man, it’s great. Working with Mr. McMahon, was wild, it was unpredictable. I never knew what was going to happen.” [5:35 – 6:03]
