WrestleMania 36: 5 WWE Superstars who flopped and 5 who impressed

#2 Flopped: Austin Theory

Austin Theory could have done better at WrestleMania but he still has time

I know that it’s too early to judge Austin Theory's potential, but he was one of the weakest performers at the show. After Andrade had to be pulled out of WrestleMania 36 owing to his rib injury, Theory was called up from NXT as a replacement for the United States Champion. The latter teamed up with Angel Garza to take on The Street Profits with the RAW Tag Team Championships on the line.

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins successfully retained their title against the team of Theory and Garza in a rather underwhelming match. One can argue that Theory was a last-minute replacement and had no solid booking to back his case.

However, there were several instances during the match that put Theory’s nervousness on display and his in-ring maneuvers were not at its best. In fact, the issue lay with the team but Garza somehow managed to gain one point over his partner owing to his experience.

Theory looks like a promising Superstar and it must have been difficult for him to prepare for the ‘Grandest Stage of Them All’ on such short notice. Hence, I hope he is never included in this division of the list in the future.
