Vince Russo believes WWE intends to make US Champion Austin Theory a main-eventer by having him defeat John Cena.

Theory and The Leader of Cenation are rumored to square off at WrestleMania 39. The match has been in the making for months now, with Austin Theory often calling out John Cena on social media and during his promos on RAW. However, before that, Theory will put his US Title on the line at Elimination Chamber 2023.

The 25-year-old will face Seth Rollins, Bronson Reed, Johnny Gargano, Damian Priest, and Monez Ford inside the steel structure on Saturday. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo predicted that if Austin Theory wins at Elimination Chamber 2023, WWE will push him to the moon.

The wrestling veteran believes the promotion would pit him against John Cena and have him defeat the 16-time World Champion.

"I think their belief is if he (Austin Theory) wins the Elimination Chamber, and then they put him over Cena, they have a main eventer," said Vince Russo. [7:14 - 7:25]

The former WWE writer also feels that since WWE has devoted a lot of time in nurturing Theory, they won't have him lose his US Title at Elimination Chamber.

"You've built him; they are really, really are behind him, I just can't see them (have him lose)," added Vince Russo. [9:28 - 9:33]
