Although WWE has pushed Austin Theory and Grayson Waller as singles stars in the past, as of late, they’ve been used as tag team stars, something that has gotten over with the WWE fanbase.
Theory has had his ups and downs in WWE as he was called up to the main roster before being sent back to NXT during the COVID-19 pandemic, only to return to the main roster with a big push by being paired with Vince McMahon on television, given a long run as the United States Champion and even beat John Cena at WrestleMania 39.
Waller made a name for himself in NXT before being called up earlier this year.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select was asked in a Q&A about how WWE officials view Theory and Waller compared to guys in NXT, such as Carmelo Hayes, Bron Brakker, and others.
“Just completely different views. They have always saw Theory and Waller as high upside. I mean, Waller is very easy for them to do business with as well. Listens really well, and gets them a lot of buzz when necessary. With Austin Theory, I feel like they kind of saw him in that Baron Corbin role where if somebody’s coming back to do something, he can take the heat from that person, and it won’t affect their booking.”
