Austin Theory is “The Now” and riding high and now, he says he’s going to take out Seth Rollins.
Austin Theory has had a whirlwind couple of months. After trying to do something no one else has ever done, he failed his Money in the Bank cash-in attempt for the WWE United States Championship on Seth Rollins. Theory ended up winning the WWE United States Championship from Seth Rollins at WWE Survivor Series mostly thanks to luck as he fell into the pinfall after Bobby Lashley hit Rollins with a Spear.
Now, with no cell phone or any other distractions to speak of, Austin Theory is riding a new wave of momentum as he prepares to face Seth Rollins for the WWE United States Championship. Seth Rollins earned this opportunity by defeating Bobby Lashley on the December 12 episode of WWE Raw.

Speaking about the impending match on WWE Raw Talk, Theory is promising to put down his former mentor. Theory also had some words for Bobby Lashley, the man who ended his first run as WWE United States Champion, saying that he knew Bobby wouldn’t be able to beat Seth Rollins because of all his temper issues.
“Byron, let’s be honest here. We both know, everybody knows, the entire WWE Universe knows that Bobby Lashley wasn’t going to make it to the United States Championship. You want to know why? Because of his temper, because of his issue with Brock Lesnar. So now, there goes Bobby Lashley, just like I seen, I seen it,” said Theory.
“Now, Mr. Visionary, Mr. ‘I see everything,’ Seth Freakin’ Rollins has an opportunity. He’s got an opportunity to try to take my United States Championship. But let’s be honest, Seth, you want to look me dead in the eyes and you want to call me a kid? No, I’m not a kid. I am a two-time United States Champion, the champion that you want. The champion that you want to dethrone, and the champion that you can’t stop. Because like I said before I even held this championship, anybody that wants to step up, is getting put down and sent home and that is ‘All Day’ and that is what’s going to happen to you, Seth Freakin’ Rollins.”
So far, no date has been set for the impending WWE United States Championship match. However, one person that will not be competing on WWE television anytime soon is Bobby Lashley as he was fired by Adam Pearce at the close of last night’s episode of Raw.
