WWE fans are convinced that top heel Austin Theory seemingly breaking character on social media, foreshadows his babyface turn.
Theory was drafted to the main roster in 2021 and was instantly taken under the tutelage of Vince McMahon. He was widely seen as the next face of the company and was given a heavy push after he won the Money in the Bank briefcase and became the youngest United States Champion in the company's history. He accomplished all this while being a despicable heel.
However, Austin Theory may have changed certain fan opinions in a recently shared video by seemingly breaking character. The 26-year-old recently shared footage of him wearing the Iron Man mask.

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell wants Kurt Angle to face Austin Theory
Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell believes that WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle should come out of retirement to start a feud with the United States Champion.
Following his retirement from the ring, the WWE Hall of Famer has occasionally appeared on programming. He was featured in a segment with D-Generation X on RAW is XXX before officiating as the special guest referee in a six-man tag team bout where The Street Profits and Seth Rollins defeated Imperium.
Dutch Mantell stated on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk that a feud with Kurt Angle would tremendously benefit Austin Theory.
"I don't think it could hurt. If they're able to get what Cena said out of people's minds or if they're even still thinking about that, I'm sure it's in the back of their heads. But I think him and Angle could have some great skits, some great backstage stuff, stuff in the ring. It's gonna be kinda not funny but cute, smarta** and Kurt was great with that stuff. So just an idea, I think it'll help Theory a lot," Mantell said.
It remains to be seen if Austin Theory will transition into a babyface character ahead of Friday Night SmackDown.
