#5 Hit on WWE RAW: Austin Theory gets title match against Big E
Vince McMahon returned to WWE RAW in search of Cleopatra’s Golden Egg that was gifted to him by The Rock. He said that whoever got it back would win be gifted a title opportunity.
Sami Zayn took the responsibility of finding out who had the jewel-laden egg and discovered that it was Austin Theory. The latter explained that he just wanted to take a selfie and was eventually forgiven. Zayn objected by saying that McMahon is not staying true to his words, to which the WWE Chairman replied by saying that no one likes a snitch.
Theory got an incredible opportunity to prove himself against Big E in WWE RAW’s main event. Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens were seated at ringside, adding fuel to their ongoing feud. Austin Theory made the most of his golden chance by delivering an impressive in-ring performance. His dropkicks and counters had fans cheering for the young superstar.
At one point, Rollins attacked Big E hoping that Theory would capitalize. Unfortunately for him, E kicked out of the pinfall right in time. Following that, Owens threw The Visionary inside the ring, which led to him brawling with KO. Their interaction kept Austin Theory distracted long enough for Big E to hit him with Big Ending and retain his title.
Although the WWE Championship picture is currently stacked with Big E, Seth Rollins, and Kevin Owens feuding amongst themselves, Theory made a great addition with his one-off appearance. He has definitely earned credit backstage on WWE RAW, and it appears that he has a great future lying ahead of him on the red brand.
