Every successful faction has one member that fans eventually start rooting for. Thus, Austin Theory appears to be filling that role in The Vision.
Unlike the rest of the group, Theory hasn’t been presented as an unstoppable force or a dominant leader. Instead, he has often found himself trying to prove that he belongs. Hence, making him the easiest member for fans to connect with.
The former World Tag Team Champion’s recent performances have also shown more determination than arrogance, a noticeable shift from the cocky character who once held the United States Championship.
Sometimes, WWE doesn’t need to force a babyface turn. All it takes is consistently portraying a superstar as someone fighting to earn respect, and that’s exactly what has happened with Theory.
With this in mind, there is a strong possibility that Austin Theory could eventually snap and betray The Vision. Perhaps it could be the reverse. Thus, turning face in the process.
Although the group has helped keep Theory relevant on RAW, remaining with the heels may eventually limit his ceiling. If the faction turns on him or decides he has outlived his usefulness, the former US Champion would instantly become a sympathetic figure.
That storyline wouldn’t require a dramatic character overhaul. Fans have already watched Austin Theory struggle to establish himself within the group. So, a betrayal would feel like a natural progression rather than a forced creative decision.
It would also give Theory an immediate rivalry with his former stablemates. Thus, providing him with meaningful television time and a chance to showcase a different side of his character. However, this is speculative at this point.
WWE desperately needs another young babyface on RAW?
RAW has no shortage of established stars. However, WWE is always searching for the next homegrown main-event babyface. Thus, Austin Theory has all the tools to fill that role.
Theory is charismatic, polished in the ring, comfortable on the microphone, and still has age on his side. More importantly, fans are beginning to view him differently than they did just a year ago. Instead of seeing an overconfident heel, they’re seeing a talented superstar who has yet to reach his full potential.
Triple H has built his creative philosophy around long-term storytelling. Thus, Theory’s current trajectory fits that approach. Rather than forcing fans to cheer him, WWE is allowing support to develop organically through his current storyline.
If the company eventually pulls the trigger on a split from The Vision, Austin Theory could emerge as one of RAW’s freshest babyfaces.
It may not have been Triple H’s original plan. However, sometimes the best stars are created by accident. Right now, all the pieces are in place for Theory to remind the WWE Universe why he was once considered the company’s future.
