#3 Austin Theory shifts alliances

We were a bit surprised pre-WrestleMania 36 after Andrade pulled out of his scheduled RAW Tag Team title match. He was replaced by the 22-year-old Austin Theory from NXT - a young man getting the biggest spot of his career.

There were rumors that Theory would be done with Zelina Vega's faction fairly quickly and that turned out to be true, as the dissent and issues with Angel Garza led to him being kicked out of the group in an untimely manner.

He was left stranded at ringside, after which Aleister Black would face Murphy. While Murphy was once again doing all the hard work, Rollins went to Theory and mumbled something to him. There wasn't any need for a big conversation either, as Rollins managed to convince Theory to attack Black, disqualifying Murphy in the process.

The result didn't matter because it ended with Black getting assaulted. Rollins embraced Theory, indicating that he's the new member of his faction. It's a huge upgrade for a Superstar like Theory, who we feel will fit much better with Rollins and Murphy than he did with Zelina Vega, Andrade, and Angel Garza.
