A top WWE Superstar recently called out Tyson Fury. The boxing great has made several appearances for the company and even wrestled a match. Now it looks like he could be returning for Clash at the Castle.
The Gypsy King first appeared for World Wrestling Entertainment on October 4, 2019, for the SmackDown on FOX premiere. He began a feud with Braun Strowman that same night, and this led to Fury defeating The Monster of All Monsters via count-out at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Fury also had a notable appearance at the inaugural Clash at the Castle event in 2022. During Roman Reigns' main event win over Drew McIntyre, Fury knocked Austin Theory out to stop him from cashing in the Money in the Bank contract.
Theory has now called Fury out for a match at the 2024 Clash at The Castle PLE. Speaking to Bodyslam, Theory accused the WBC Heavyweight Champion of sucker-punching him in 2022. One-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions then issued a challenge.
"You know, when I hear Clash at the Castle, I only think of one person, and that is Tyson Fury. Unfortunately, last time I was there, he sucker-punched me. Unfortunately, last time I was there, he cost me becoming the WWE Champion. I would have already been the WWE Champion if it wasn’t for Tyson Fury. So when I think of Clash at the Castle, I think that Tyson Fury should show up. I think Austin Theory’s gonna show up because I’m everywhere with the WWE," Austin Theory said. [H/T to 411mania]
Theory fueled speculation on Fury possibly finding a partner to challenge him and Grayson Waller. He continued to throw a few personal jabs at Fury:
"I’m always there, I’m always on the grind. But Tyson, if you feel like putting those donuts down, you wanna step up, come stand beside a real man, a man with so many abs that you wish you just had one, show up to Clash at the Castle. That’s all I wanna talk about when it comes to Clash at the Castle. So let’s see what happens, cause I’ll be there, I’ll be a champion. Tyson Fury? Well, hopefully he’s in shape," Austin Theory said.
Clash at The Castle 2024 is scheduled for Saturday, June 15 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.
