Austin Theory praises Vince McMahon

The former NXT Superstar spoke about what an honor it is for him to work with McMahon. Theory stated that by getting to know the Chairman better, a lot of the pressure has come off for him:

“I think it is intimidating sometimes to know he has this whole company and show to run, he’s in his office and he’s busy and going to him with ideas. But, it takes a lot of pressure off when you do segments with him and you can joke around with him. If you have a serious idea, he’s already right there. It’s one of those things, like anything, you just got to go and get it,'' said Theory

Austin Theory will face Pat McAfee at WrestleMania 38. It was originally rumored that Vince McMahon would himself be facing McAfee and have Theory take all the bumps in the match.
