And just 4 years later, he is officially defending his title at WrestleMania against John Cena. Theory is the definition of working hard to get to your dream.
My wife went to high school with him and they were in drama class together! Have been following his career since the beginning and couldn’t possibly be happier for him!
This is almost full circle. Even though John Cena is not the world champion, he still gets to wrestle John Cena at WrestleMania. I was at that wrestling show to in Deerfield Beach. Florida Wrestling is home to me. Florida is my home. FOW, FCW, NWA Florida, CCW, XWA Florida, ICW Miami, Wrestle Pro Florida, and so on.
Imagine going back in time and not only telling him that he's gonna be on the main roster but tell him that the founder of wwe himself said he's the the next John Cena
Austin Theory could genuinely be the next face of the Wwe. He's got it all. Good catchphrase, amazing finisher, Charisma and the looks. But Vince in charge the chance of that happening is slim to none
I can tell when he hits the main roster he'll be doing a talk show in the ring called "The Austin Theory" Or at the very least Vince will use Theroy puns to push cringy segments
Lou He'll leave Wwe,go to Wcw,Stay until it closes,Go to Tna,Leave Tna,Go back to Wwe to feud with Cm Punk,help Sting in his match with HHH at Wrestlemania,and then have a reunion with the Nwo at Raw 25
Austin Theory is the future of wrestling. I know WWE has wasted a lot of talent but, this guy is like, John Cena and Kenny Omega had a baby. He's the perfect wrestler inside and out. He could be winning multiple Wrestlemania main events by the time he's 30.
Kent omega is the best bout machine. He had a 6 star match And he can work with anyone. John cena is a sleeper, I only remember his cm punk matches cause cm punk could a good match against anyone
@@lukej6962 First of all it's Kenny not Kent and second of all if you don't remember any good Cena matches except the one with Punk is that you're just a stupid hater or you haven't watched WWE for 15 years
@@Gorpy_1 ur comment was funny toward LUKE J ,,, I bet a 1st grader can spell Kenny instead of kent more better than LUKE J and also LUKE J ur stupid go re watch john cena's matches because john cena is a legend and a 16 time world champion🤔👉👏👏👏👈
i think what Austin needs to do is once he debuts on nxt, talk about wheres john cena.. and the only reason why hes at nxt is for john cena.. talk about how cena never came to evolve and now he has to thru travel thru nxt to get to john cena and john cena is hiding from him.. and any time he faces someone in his promo he says that the guy/wrestler hes facing is NO john cena, "dude, youre no john cena soooo i'll make quick work of you... you cant ssee this theory!". like really kick it up a notch... do the whole john cena thing.. and this leads up to a mtch between him and john cena at wrestlemania. john passes the torch to this kid.. that would be a dope long time story
He has WWE guy written all over him. He said he got into wrestling because of Cena LMAO never heard that before but I hope he makes it and becomes a star
Chuck Taylor To be fair he said he liked Cena because of his never gave up attitude he never said wrestling wise Cena is his favorite and whats wrong with that people like who they like....
Trey I was refine to what someone else mention about his mane and wwe twisting it for their storyline. Idiot? Get off your keyboard. I know who Evolve are.
@215 livin In legit sports it may matter but not with wrestling also most wrestlers don't reach their peak in wrestling til their early- mid 30s. Theres a reason why guys like rock, brock, cena and randy have been some the youngest world champions in wwe history, it just doesn't happen often.
@215 livin Stone Cold was only in WWE for 8 years until he retired in 2003. If you only count the 3:16 era, 6.5 years. He was definitely past his capabilities after he broke his neck in 97. In that short span of time and even with the injury, he was the face of professional wrestling. An early-30's NXT guy definitely has enough time to be built. Just use them properly.
@215 livin WWE fans have gotten behind plenty wrestlers who don't do "flippity kick shit." Nakamura, Cesaro, Braun, Brock, Owens, and Bryan are just a few names who fans have demanded to be champ or a face of the brand. If you don't conflate agility with "flippity kick shit," add AJ to that list. And almost all of these guys debuted... in their 30s. Not to mention the big names in NXT who aren't as agile.
DDP kicked off at 35. As for your internet badass use of words like "vanilla midget". It's woefully ignorant considering what guys like AJ Styles can do. Vanilla is plain and the shit Styles does is far from plain. And at his age he does shit most can't do.
And just 4 years later, he is officially defending his title at WrestleMania against John Cena. Theory is the definition of working hard to get to your dream.
This guy is the definition of drive and ambition. Just look at him now. And he’s just 24
And more impressive is that he didn’t get there by being 2nd generation or 3rd generation.
Now he’s MR.MITB 😁
@@iangill3695 fr lmao
And he is US Champion 2 months ago
Future legend for sure
I’ve always been a fan of Austin theory, he’s so young, talented, and athletic. He will be really big on NXT.
Couldn’t agree more
He comes across like a stand-up, down to earth fellow. Hope he keeps his head on straight and continues to succeed.
My wife went to high school with him and they were in drama class together! Have been following his career since the beginning and couldn’t possibly be happier for him!
Austin Theory is the future but Chris Van Vliet is the past, present, and future! 🙌
Then Now FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
FOREVERRRRR
Austin comes across so well. Delighted he's made it to NXT
Can’t wait to see more of him! 💪🏽
I see a huge John Cena influence when I see Austin Theory, he's a spitting image of John Cena
14:04 one year later he was on the wrestlemania 36 card
This guy’s a star in the making no doubt 💪🏼
This comment is aging well
Austin theory is cool and a breath of fresh air hopefully Vince will sign him this year
Crazy to think that he went from this bright eyed indie star to Mr. McMahons protege!
Dude Austin Theory is the future of professional wrestling
now he has a push in the wwe... i wasnt on board at first but the kid grew on me
I already sort of liked Theory but after this interview I’m officially a fan. Hope he’s becomes the future star Vince see him as.
Austin theory has great potential!
From EVOLVE To NXT to Mania in a year man this guy is special
Austin is going to be big for wwe
I've seen Austin Theory wrestle for Limitless Wrestling several times. He always shines and seems like a great guy.
This is almost full circle. Even though John Cena is not the world champion, he still gets to wrestle John Cena at WrestleMania. I was at that wrestling show to in Deerfield Beach. Florida Wrestling is home to me. Florida is my home. FOW, FCW, NWA Florida, CCW, XWA Florida, ICW Miami, Wrestle Pro Florida, and so on.
Before 2019 ends, I expect Austin Theory to be in NXT! I'm already looking forward to him in Progress in March!
I hope AEW picks this kid up as a starting mid or bottom card guy. I bet he would go further in AEW than WWE.
Battle Fanatic nah you can tell evolve is grooming this guy for Wwe he has star written all over him
Battle Fanatic Plus by the time he gets to the main roster Vince will probably be gone
Well you were correct
Look at him now
I don't know Austin Theorys work but he seems like such a nice guy! , Will definitely check em out!.
its funny watching this back now,his already come so far
It’s 2023 and he’ll be fighting his Idol, John Cena, at Wrestlemania next month! So crazy how fast his come up has been!
Guy definitely has Confidence Super Stoked for him and his future
Austin Theory will definitely be a world champion one day. He has that champions mindset very rare at his young age.
Austin Theory has big star potential. I think he'd crush in NXT.
Like, you know, he's a cool guy
Amazing interview! @chris van vilet.
3 years later he's facing John Cena at Wrestlemania!
Imagine going back in time and not only telling him that he's gonna be on the main roster but tell him that the founder of wwe himself said he's the the next John Cena
Dude has as much potential as anyone I've seen in the last 20 years.
This guy can go one tv right this moment and get over. I will not lie I am a Theory Mark
Austin Theory future WWE champion. He just beat Kevin Owens and is in the elimination chamber
Damn RUclips how come I ain't getting any notification, that's aside happy new year Chris and keep up the great work which u are accustomed to
Happy new year to you too man!
I wanna see him and John Cena face to face in the ring one day
You got your wish at least backstage and a rumored match😉
So glad I subscribe ,love this channel and appreciate Chris doing this for us !
Austin Theory could genuinely be the next face of the Wwe. He's got it all. Good catchphrase, amazing finisher, Charisma and the looks. But Vince in charge the chance of that happening is slim to none
And... 2 years later... you were right (except Vince part lol). Vince's new pet project.
@°Street Yα° lol
Slime to None btch he got picked by Vince himself.
And now he’s Mr McMahon protégé
Never say never :D
Here after the US title win
I love Austin Theroy
I can tell when he hits the main roster he'll be doing a talk show in the ring called "The Austin Theory"
Or at the very least Vince will use Theroy puns to push cringy segments
Lou He'll leave Wwe,go to Wcw,Stay until it closes,Go to Tna,Leave Tna,Go back to Wwe to feud with Cm Punk,help Sting in his match with HHH at Wrestlemania,and then have a reunion with the Nwo at Raw 25
If he’s a heel when that happens I’ll be all for it
Geno Alpha what
2009 right? I’m surprised it took a year for someone to say something.... this dude is nuts
Oh how wrong you are, but then again you’re a smark who thinks you know everything so it’s not a surprise.

Amazing interview as usual. Keep up the good work

Spoke it into existence

Thumbs up if you’re watching this in 2018 and can see the future!
It's like some sort of time travel THEORY!
And look at Austin now ♥️
Crazy how he will be facing Cena in a few weeks in Wrestlemania
Damn Chris Van Vliet you looking like a wrestlers yourself keep it up with 💯👌 video and quality of interviews keep it up chief
Well I did step into the ring that night.......
But as a ring announcer.
@@ChrisVanVliet Underneath that ring announcer suit you got them trunks and boots laced up don't ya 😂😂 ready to go
@D X Jr I can believe that.
The future of NXT
Great video
I didn't recognize him and I couldn't put my finger on why, and then I remembered why. The eyebrows.

Only way for HIM is ⬆️
This didn’t age well lol
This guy definitely have WWE guy written all over him. He said he got into wrestling because if Cena. Wow LMAO I hope he gets there and become a star
Don't really know what's so funny. Cena is an actual legend and huge mainstream star. He's absolutely reason enough to inspire future wrestlers.
@@Phil04196 agreed bro
He is already on main roster and was part of WrestleMania 36
Guy looks like a star
Here from 2024…Theory is doing pretty well for himself 😌✨
Eu amo Austin Theory e meu super Herói 😍😍😍😍💪💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇧🇷
He’s amazing i see some sick matches w Adam Cole coming !
Austin theory a atlien cool my hometown now I'm in Decatur ga
Best channel
Another amazing interview Chris
The Future
in a year basically ... he faced Cena, got stun by Stone Cold and got a promo with the Rock ...
And only a few months later he’s a jobber
Cena should just pop up at an Evolve show & work as a heel against Theory. Do it for the culture.
He definitely called all of his success years ago.
I knew that why I like Austin theory
Damn Austin kept it real
Don't go to wwe with that name, they'll give you a science or math teacher gimmick
At least he put through it into. This is the problem with WWE twisting what you created.
He has WWE guy written all over him. He said he got into wrestling because of Cena LMAO never heard that before but I hope he makes it and becomes a star
Pauldjreadman
Do you understand evolve and wwe have a huge working relationship idiots
Chuck Taylor
To be fair he said he liked Cena because of his never gave up attitude he never said wrestling wise Cena is his favorite and whats wrong with that people like who they like....
Trey I was refine to what someone else mention about his mane and wwe twisting it for their storyline. Idiot? Get off your keyboard. I know who Evolve are.
He beat John Cena at WrestleMania 39 to retain the United States championship
jeez fast forward 3 years US Champions wow bro inspiration on how to go after your goals....he might just get that John Cena fight down the road
A-TOWN DOWN‼️
Brian Fury* lol and the game must've been Tekken: Dark Resurrection for the PSP®️
We need a Matt riddle interview
16:23 💯
Austin Theory (Well my real name is Austin I’ll keep that)
Me (you sure about that)
Yes he got his name back so your comment didn't age well
austin theory i feel you ive wanted to become a wrestler since i was 8 and john cena has been one of my role models as well
I’m from the future Austin Theory will win WWE championship At WrestleMania from Bobby Lashley
At least he's not in his early 30s like 90% of the NXT roster

Someone should explain what a theory is to him.
Yeah you're right, a theory can be proven or unproven
People like CM Flunk make people like Darby Allin (Wannabe Jackass) and Superstar John Cena make people like Theory (Future of pro wrestling)
It's BRIAN Fury not Brandon
Doug Sullivan YES!!! I was just getting ready to rant on that 🤬🤣
