Will Austin Theory cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase on the NXT Championship? Last night on NXT, Mr. Money in the Bank came out with his briefcase after the main event symposium/beat down.
This leads to fan speculation that he could be cashing in on whoever leaves Halloween Havoc as NXT Champion. It kind of pisses me off that I didn’t do a video on him cashing in yesterday. I thought about it earlier in the day! It makes sense because they’re trying to get main roster wrestlers there.
Going to be honest here, I’m not a fan of it. I don’t think it devalues the Money in the Bank briefcase, I mean Otis won that at one point. I think it devalues Austin Theory. Theory was billed as the “Next John Cena” at one point and having him win the NXT Title feels like a massive step back.
People will point to Charlotte winning the Royal Rumble then challenging Rhea Ripley not devaluing the Rumble. Which, it didn’t. There’s a difference between Charlotte and Theory though. A massive difference! Charlotte was an established main event star, not someone they were trying to push to the moon. It would have been like Charlotte being up on the main roster for a year, winning the Women’s title once and then going back to NXT to win that Title.
Theory has also lost a ton of momentum since Vince McMahon left. I think this further crushes his momentum. While I do agree that he isn’t ready to beat Reigns, the guy has plenty of time. He won it on July 2nd, which means he has over half a year to cash in.
Tons can change by that point. I’d continue to commit to Austin Theory. Stop his losing streak and honestly, give him the Cena push. WWE needs big stars and Theory has that potential.
Keep following along on Twitter for live updates. Let me know what you think. You could totally disagree with me and that’s cool!
