It appears that The Vision could be over. If that is indeed the case, here are four possible directions for Austin Theory.
#4. A feud with Chad Gable
Austin Theory’s next rivalry could be with Chad Gable. On RAW, Theory confronted Maxxine Dupri after she had a confrontation with Gable. He made it clear that he did not approve of how she handled it, and the conversation seemingly led to the end of their relationship.
That could be the beginning of a new feud. With Gable now back as himself and carrying plenty of momentum, Theory could target him in the coming weeks. Maxxine would naturally become part of the storyline, with both men having a reason to be at odds.
It would also create an interesting dynamic. Maxxine could find herself caught between the two, adding another layer to the rivalry while giving Theory a clear direction following the apparent end of The Vision.
#3. Move to SmackDown
A move to SmackDown could be exactly what Austin Theory needs. With The Vision seemingly falling apart, WWE could use this as the right time to send him to the blue brand.
A fresh start would also give Theory a new set of opponents. Instead of getting lost in the crowded RAW roster, he could immediately find direction on SmackDown. One possibility is entering the United States Championship picture, where Trick Williams is the current champion.
That would be a good way to rebuild his momentum. A feud with Trick would give Theory a meaningful program while allowing him to establish himself on a new brand. It would also freshen up the United States Championship scene with another credible challenger.
#2. Go back to NXT for a brief run
Austin Theory could benefit from a short run in NXT. Several main roster stars have returned to the developmental brand after struggling to find direction. In many cases, it has helped them refresh their characters before returning to RAW or SmackDown.
The same approach could work for the 28-year-old. A few months in NXT would give him the chance to try something different. Whether it is a new character, a different attitude, or simply a fresh set of opponents, the move could help him rebuild his momentum.
It would not have to be a long stay. Once Theory establishes himself again, WWE could bring him back to the main roster with a clearer direction and a renewed push.
#1. Austin Theory could turn babyface
Austin Theory has spent almost his entire main roster career as a heel, but fans have wanted to see him as a babyface for a while now. Many believe Theory has the charisma and personality to succeed in that role. However, WWE has never fully committed to giving him that opportunity.
The latest episode of RAW may have changed things. With The Vision seemingly over, Theory no longer has a faction behind him. He also appears to have gone his separate way from Maxxine Dupri, leaving him without a major storyline.
Instead of continuing as a heel, WWE could let him stand on his own. A babyface turn would allow Theory to show a different side of his character. More importantly, it would answer something many fans have wanted to see for a long time.
