So what's Austin Theory's deal? He beat Cena and now gets to be in a segment with The Rock so they must like him but is he actually good or what?

Somewhere, CM Punk has become incredibly bitter that The Rock has stolen another Wrestlemania Main event away from him.

It’s fine, he can still have Night 1, 3rd main event

He's like The Miz with less charisma.

Theory is a guy that they decided had to be a big deal when he got signed to EVOLVE (probably scouted by WWE and they got Gabe to hire him) and they're now just committed to him despite having zero charisma, being kinda gross to look at when he flexes, only being decent in ring and accusations of being a nonce.

He has everything you want in a wrestler except anything that makes him entertaining.

He’s also one of the only real young guys they have, so they’re going to really try to make him a thing, at least until they’re forced to push their nxt crop once the older guys start leaving

I watched the rock return segment on youtube and the crowd sweetening was unbearable. The fans were chanting 'rocky' and i couldn't even hear it over the looped 3 second crowd cheer.

Never liked the rock because he always kept my guys from real title reigns like Foley, stupid catchphrases about eating pussy got old. About as racist as HHH with all the anti asian stuff rock did.

Don’t want CM Punk in WWE, it’s bot going to be as funny in a hyper controlled environment like the fed, it’ll just be skinny fat sloppy matches against folks I don’t care about. WWE is just a Cody/Roman show mixed in with enjoyable women’s wrestling and characters for me.

Hopefully they both stay away but they’ll probably be hitting their moves on Cody and drinking beer with Steve Austin at Wrestlemania and Cody ends up a heel commissioner or something

running back to the company that hated you and purposefully sent you your release during your wedding then sued you to drain your bank account - just to try to stick it to the company that gave you literally anything you asked for and built the company (and a weekly show) around you but you couldn't physically stop yourself from loving it all up is definitely a cm punk thing to do lol

I was gonna say, if there's a positive to take away (aside from how funny it is and how much it fucks Cody over which is also funny), it's that if this could get fixed by something dumber and pettier, him and Colt could definitely someday become friends again, if that's a thing you want to see/care about. This seemed harder for both sides to get past than that does

Unless Colt Cabana can help him with a thumb in the eye to someone else who upset him I very much doubt they’ll be reconciling.

That's not fair. Pat McAfee no longer works as an announcer for WWF.

Plus, they also let The Rock work with the guy who got the rub of going over Cena at WrestleMania and completely squandered it

Some people just have charisma oozing out of their pores, Pat does which is why ESPN wanted him, Rock does which is why Hollywood wanted him, Theory does not.
It's not impossible to change that perception (Rock is a Grade A example) but all the promos and rubs in the world won't help if your character is seen as time to use the bathroom.
