At the age of just 24, Theory is already experiencing a meteoric rise in the WWE.
He’s the hand-picked protégé of Mr. McMahon, he was one of the last survivors in the 2022
Elimination Chamber match, he is the youngest United States Champion in WWE history and
at Money in the Bank 2022, he was announced as a surprise wildcard… and even went on
to win making him the youngest-ever Money in the Bank winner.
So, why is the WWE so obsessed with Theory, namely Vince McMahon and are those tennis
balls in Mån.sôör pocket?
I have a couple of “theories” to why this may be…
Firstly, he’s young.
As mentioned, Theory is 24-years-old which means he’s a mouldable talent; he still
has plenty of time to grow and develop.
Vince McMahon sees a “young John Cena” in Theory and plans to give him “everything
he needs to be successful”.
The fact Theory has shared the screen with Vince on numerous occasions (which not many
can say they did) tells you how highly Vince regards Theory.
Secondly, his physique.
We all know Vince McMahon loves big, sweaty men… not that kind of one!
A big muscular frame rather and with a background in bodybuilding like John Cena, Theory’s
look sure titillates the juices of Vince McMahon’s guilty pleasures.
In fact, Theory placed first in the NPC Georgia Bodybuilding Championship, Teen Men category
when he was 17.
Thirdly, he’s a prodigal talent.
Despite being just 24-years-old, Theory possesses veteran-like ring IQ.
Theory’s days working in the Indies has helped him hone his in-ring skills meaning
he’s able to hang with anybody.
He’s also a key figure in the teenage demographic for the WWE which is a bonus.
With Roman Reigns easing his schedule, the WWE needs to build future stars and that’s
exactly what they intend to do with Theory.
He ticks all the boxes in what Vince McMahon looks for in a WWE wrestler and he gets a
response from the fans.
We could very well be looking at the next WWE Champion in Theory.
You may not like it but it’s just something you’ll have to accept.
