#3 Hit on WWE RAW: Austin Theory
This week on WWE RAW, we saw Kevin Owens and Austin Theory compete in a brutal Elimination Chamber qualification match. The two superstars gave it all inside the ring and delivered one of the best bouts of the show.
Their battle eventually ended with Theory picking up a huge victory over Owens to seal his spot in the Elimination Chamber match. KO does not participate in Saudi Arabia events, and thus, he wouldn’t have won the qualification bout.
However, he did a great job putting over a young talent who is about to compete with the biggest names in the promotion. Austin Theory has had great showing inside the squared circle since his return to the main roster, but tonight, he proved why Vince McMahon had invested his trust in the budding star.
He was at par with one of the best performers on WWE RAW and matched his opponent both in action and story-telling skills.
Theory pushed KO to his limits and took a lot of punishment throughout the match. He came close to losing on multiple occasions but fought back with resilience. After several jaw-dropping spots, we saw Austin Theory seal his victory with a perfect ALT on Kevin Owens.
He will undoubtedly make for an interesting addition to the Elimination Chamber match, and hopefully, Theory will make the most of that opportunity as well.
As for Owens, he should get a shot at Damian Priest’s United States Championship, especially considering he was the first to pin Priest on the main roster.
