WWE United States Champion Austin Theory on being in the main event of WWE RAW XXX (Exclusive)

WWE United States Champion Austin Theory defeated former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley in the main event of WWE RAW XXX. This was probably not foreseen by fans of the Stamford-based promotion. Not Theory retaining his championship, but the fact that the duo's bout would close the show.

Whilst Brock Lesnar's return may have factored into the company's decision to do so, it nevertheless remains a marquee moment for Theory's career.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Theory claimed his biggest highlight from RAW XXX was that he got to headline the show.

"I would have to say me main eventing RAW XXX as the United States Champion, you know? Comes pretty crazy full-circle for me, like, watching Monday Night RAW my whole life and then, the 30th Anniversary, I'm right there in the main event." [1:37-1:52]
