#5 Austin Theory is a rare talent, but he has a long way to go on RAW

Although it's arguably time for Austin Theory to move on from his mini-feud with Jeff Hardy on RAW, it has been entertaining. When Theory made a statement post-WWE Draft on RAW, he attacked Jeff Hardy, who had already lost a match against Damian Priest.

This was the second week in a row where Austin Theory faced Jeff Hardy, and it's also the second victory in a row for the 24-year-old on RAW. While it has been impressive, Theory hasn't exactly gotten clean victories.

This week on RAW, the former NXT star had a confrontation with R-Truth backstage, furious over the 24/7 Title chase interrupting his interview. R-Truth accepted a challenge for a match, but when he came out, it was a challenge on behalf of his friend - Jeff Hardy.

After beating Hardy for the second time in a row, Austin Theory took a selfie to add insult to injury. However, Hardy got back up and hit the Twist of Fate on Theory, taking a selfie from his phone as an act of revenge.

While Theory could possibly be done with Hardy (although we wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't), this was a "welcome to RAW" moment for the 24-year-old. Theory is going to be pushed big in the future, but there's a long way to go for that.
