Trained By An Indie Legend
While in Georgia, Austin began training under indie legend AR Fox. Theory currently uses one of Fox’s signature moves, an amazing seated springboard Spanish fly.
Shoutout AR Fox. If you ever seen him wrestle you know that’s one of his greatest hits. Shoutout my boy @austintheory1 for the hometown love. https://t.co/8Sowp8vxpD

Austin Theory Earned Stardom Early On
People picked up on Theory’s skills early on in his career. After only in the business, Theory was already wrestling for the WWE feeder program EVOLVE, quickly becoming the EVOLVE heavyweight champion. He also earned the Full Impact Pro, The Crash Lucha Libre, and World Wrestling Network Championships. Again, not bad for a guy who only started wrestling in 2016

What’s Next For Austin Theory?
Theory’s star quality and upside are undeniable. He has a great look, loads of charisma, and can really go in the ring. Having your first feud be against Finn Balor is a pretty good co-sign.
The fact that Vince McMahon has taken such a direct interest in his career says a lot as well. Not since Kevin Owens has Vince been so intimately involved in the on-screen development of a new star. If Owens’ success is any indication, I think Theory will be a champion sooner rather than later. It wouldn’t shock me to see Theory get a big star-making opportunity at WrestleMania next year.
