Randy Orton has been in WWE for a long time, which evidently gives him a good eye for talents who are about to reach the next level.
WWE Superstar Randy Orton recently spoke with Adam’s Apple. When asked who he believes the next breakout stars in the company are, Orton specifically mentions Bron Breakker, Grayson Waller, and Austin Theory.
“I’m a fan of Bron Breakker. I’ve been a fan of Austin Theory,” Randy Orton said. “I think [Grayson] Waller is great. There’s a lot of guys in NXT that I’m not necessarily aware of, but when I was down there, getting ready to get back on the road last fall, I saw a lot of great talent down there, guys and girls. As far as the one particular person, that’s a tough question.
“My eyes are on Austin Theory, and I think not only from a talent standpoint but he’s also got a great look. He’s gotten better and better on the mic. The more opportunities he has, I think the more he’ll thrive. But I’ve talked to the guy and he’s on the level.
“When I was his age, I nothing like that. He is way more mature than I was. I think that he’s got the world by the balls, man. He’s making the right decisions. He’s taking care of himself; he knows what his priorities should be. And there with being the best that you can be with WWE.”
