New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Randy Orton believes WWE SmackDown star could be a future world champion
Randy Orton recently stated that Austin Theory has the potential to be a major champion down the line.
Theory is currently in a tag team with Grayson Waller on SmackDown. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter earlier this year, Orton praised Theory and noted that he has had plenty of conversations with him. The veteran noted that it is difficult to predict success in the wrestling business but thought the 27-year-old had the chance to be a future world champion.
"It's hard, I don't have a crystal ball or anything, but Austin Theory is young and he's got a great look. I know where his head's at. I've had plenty of talks with him, and a lot of the things that I did as a kid that I maybe shouldn't have, the distractions that I was confronted with, he doesn't have those. I think he's just a little more gung-ho, motivated. He sees the goal, he sees the prize, he knows what he wants. I think he'll definitely be a world champion one day," Orton said.
