Report: Update on Austin Theory potentially joining The Vision
Austin Theory is reportedly still factored into creative plans involving The Vision.
Dave Meltzer reported in the October 13 Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Theory was planned to team with Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Brock Lesnar in the men’s War Games match at Survivor Series. On Tuesday, WrestleVotes reported that there are “voices” in WWE pushing to keep Theory involved in creative plans despite the injury Rollins suffered at Crown Jewel.

“Sources indicate there are still voices within the company pushing to keep Austin Theory involved in creative plans, even after the recent shuffling caused by Seth Rollins’ injury. The idea of Theory joining The Vision was at least discussed, and he still has internal support moving forward to reappear on TV in a significant manner.”
Meltzer addressed the latest regarding Theory in Friday’s edition of the Newsletter, noting that Theory joining The Vision would have led to CM Punk and Roman Reigns aligning. He mentioned there had been talk of Theory debuting for The Vision on the October 13 Raw.
“Theory’s involvement would have in some form led to Reigns and Punk coming together on the same unit against The Vision in War Games, since Reigns was beaten at Crown Jewel by Reed, with help from Breakker,” Meltzer wrote.
Theory hasn’t wrestled since the July 14 taping of Main Event, where he lost to El Grande Americano.
