Austin Theory was one of the most impressive WWE Superstars on the latest edition of RAW, receiving a positive response from fans online.

Not long ago, Theory cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, hoping to dethrone Seth Rollins as the United States Champion. However, a timely interference from Bobby Lashley prevented the budding star from reclaiming the gold, causing an embarrassing failed cash-in. Since then, Austin Theory has decided to step up his game inside the ring and on the microphone.

His first promo last week after the aforementioned incident was impressive. He backed those words this week on RAW. Theory locked horns with Mustafa Ali in a short yet entertaining match that saw him deliver a grueling performance. He then picked up a victory but couldn't celebrate for long as Bobby Lashley walked inside the ring to confront him.

Theory then took the mic and cut a promo where he took shots at Bobby Lashley. He blamed The All Mighty for interfering with his title hunt and hurt his ego by bringing up his loss against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel. Their war of words further led to a brawl between Theory and Lashley.

At first, The All Mighty dominated the segment, but Theory soon got back on his feet after using a chair as a weapon. He then hit the former WWE Champion with multiple chair shots before they went backstage. Theory cleverly threw an injured Mustafa Ali at Lashley to create room for his escape.

Earlier tonight, Theory claimed he had hit rock bottom, alluding to his failed MITB cash-in. However, he claimed it was also "the best thing that ever happened" to him. The latter part of the statement could further indicate his demeanor change on TV.

It is fair to say that Theory has become more intense after claiming that he is no longer the "future of the company." Instead, he wants to reinvent himself as "Mr. Right Now" and is working hard to improve his skills on all fronts.
