WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill expressed admiration for Austin Theory’s physical condition, responding with a single word, “Shredded,” on Instagram. Theory, a prominent member of The Vision faction led by Paul Heyman, has recently returned in excellent shape after months away from competition, catching the attention of his peers on Monday Night Raw.
The Vision, consisting of top stars such as Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory, has established itself as a formidable force in WWE since its formation. Theory first drew intrigue when revealed as the masked attacker at Survivor Series: War Games in November, aiding The Vision and Brock Lesnar to secure a win.
Reasons Behind Austin Theory’s Commitment to The Vision
Austin Theory shared insights into his decision to join The Vision, emphasizing a shift in mindset focused on proactive ambition rather than waiting for opportunities. Speaking in an interview, Theory said,
“Well, to me, it’s about the future, and that’s exactly what The Vision is about. And it’s about taking, and that’s what I’m all about now. I’m not waiting for opportunities, and not looking at my past and saying, ‘Hey, I beat John Cena. Give me something. Somebody hand me another opportunity.’ No, we just take, and that’s how it feels now being in The Vision, just going to take everything.”
Since returning to the ring, Theory has teamed with Bronson Reed on Raw and was involved in a tag match against Penta and Dragon Lee. The match ended in disqualification when Bron Breakker intervened to deliver spears to the luchadors.
