#1. Austin Theory WWE status update

Austin Theory has mysteriously vanished from WWE TV, and the company has yet to release an official statement on the Superstar's status.

Seth Rollins did reveal during a recent interview with Sporting News that Theory was away from WWE programming due to some personal issues, and he should back soon.

"He had some personal issues that came up, so he took some time off to sort through them for the past month or two. It's hard right now, but we hope everything's good for him, so we hope to have him back sooner than later."

Dave Meltzer revealed more details regarding Austin Theory's absence on the Wrestling Observer Radio. It was noted that Theory is not injured and the allegations levelled against the Superstar during the Speaking Out movement could be the reason behind the hiatus.

Theory's story could be similar to Velveteen Dream's situation.

Here's what Meltzer revealed:

"There's an allegation against him, and then he disappeared. It's not an injury or anything like that. Is that why? [WWE] may go and say he had a car accident. I think that Seth Rollins said that – he used some term like 'personal reason' and he'll be back, so I presume that it's a Patrick Clark [Velveteen Dream] type of story."
