WWE Raw: Austin Theory's Return Isn't About The Vision — Here's Why

Why Is Austin Theory Back?

Technically, we don't know if Theory is back to join The Vision. Honestly, that may be up in creative air right now. If you noticed, WWE has intentionally had Paul Heyman thread the line about his involvement. Heyman could have been behind this, or he could have been just as surprised as everyone else. Technically, if Theory doesn't join The Vision, it will justify Heyman's testimony all along.

Theory's return isn't about The Vision. It's about him.

The Vision is not like The Bloodline. The group is not going to be together for 4-5 years. The main players don't have that long. The whole point of the group is to assemble the stars of the future.

Bron Breakker and Logan Paul have been positioned as main attractions for the next 10+ years. The same has now been done for Austin Theory.

Inevitably, Theory will turn babyface. I expect that to happen sooner rather than later. Even if Theory officially joins the Vision, expect him to feel like an outlier. Fans will not treat him as a monster heel. Did you hear Hershey's chants last night?

WWE has to differentiate these "Paul Heyman guys." They can't all be like Brock Lesnar.

Logan Paul is Theory's Rival

My prediction is we get Logan Paul vs. Austin Theory at WrestleMania. Here's how I would book it in 5 steps.

1. Theory joins the Vision.
2. Logan Paul treats him like a "little brother."
3. Fans rally behind Theory. Theory turns on Logan.
4. Theory's on-screen character becomes like his real-life personality: motivating people to be their best.
5. The Story: Logan Paul is the heel who tears people down, Austin Theory is the babyface who builds them up.

The next generation needs a role model who embodies values like hustle, loyalty, and respect.

Cena's gone, but Austin Theory is here.
