Triple H to finally pull the trigger on massive WWE breakup after months of waiting? Potential SmackDown twist explored

Triple H has been managing many changes on both WWE SmackDown and RAW lately, and more major events might happen after Bad Blood last weekend. While returns and absences are expected, the upcoming Friday show might also feature a breakup of a former Tag Team Champions.

The tag team in question is Grayson Waller and Austin Theory, collectively known as A-Town Down Under. The SmackDown duo experienced success earlier this year, winning the WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania XL, but cracks in their partnership have been evident for the past few months. Following their recent appearance on NXT, Triple H may finally decide to break up the duo at this week's episode on the blue brand.

A-Town Down Under recently faced Nathan Frazier and Axiom for the NXT Tag Team Championship on this week's edition of the black and silver brand. During the match, Grayson Waller and Austin Theory nearly attacked each other but managed to focus on their opponents. When it seemed like they had resolved their issues, Waller sidestepped as Axiom charged with a Golden Ratio, allowing Theory to take the impact instead. Due to what transpired last night and in the past, it wouldn't be a shock if the former US Champion finally snaps on SmackDown this week.

Austin can confront Grayson for what transpired on NXT and bring up the previous instances where Waller made Theory a scapegoat. While the Australian star explains himself, the former US Champion can snap and attack him.

Fans are getting impatient with how long their split is taking, and they may fully grow tired of it if the Stamford-based promotion continues to prolong this storyline. The WWE Universe has already expressed their desire to see Austin as a babyface, something he rarely received during his time as Mr. Money in the Bank and the US Champion.

Who does wrestling veteran Bill Apter think should be the face and the heel if A-Town Down Under splits on WWE SmackDown?

As mentioned above, many fans want to see Austin Theory finally turn face once he splits with Grayson Waller on SmackDown. However, Bill Apter thinks he will play a different character instead.

On a past episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's SmackTalk, the wrestling veteran praised Grayson and believed he has a character that fans could relate to for a babyface run. On the other hand, Apter also praised Austin's previous work as a heel and thinks the company has not been utilizing his talents recently.

It will be interesting to see what will happen next between the former Tag Team Champions on SmackDown this week.
