WWE Superstar Austin Theory is someone that Vince McMahon is favoring a lot these days. The backstage officials noticed him as an aspiring superstar and they were convinced to give him a push in the company. Here are some reasons why we feel Vince McMahon is in Theory’s corner.
#1 Theory attracts young audiences
With Austin being a young WWE superstar, all his matches attract a lot of younger audiences and this has not gone unnoticed by Vince. So the company is looking to use him in a bid to attract more younger viewers.
All of his matches have garnered a lot of viewers and if the demographics are to be accessed it’s around the age group of 18-25.
#2 Vince sees potential in him
Vince McMahon’s protégé Austin Theory (shortened name Theory) challenged Finn Balor for the WWE United States Championship.

The 24-year-old, who has been under the guidance of Vince McMahon since October 2021, has tried his level best to impress ‘The Boss’. Although he has impressed in flashes, he finally saw success on the April 18 edition of Raw.
#3 Vince has big plans for Theory
The boss has seen a lot of potential in the young superstar and has already given him a lot of opportunities like the Royal Rumble match or the high-profile match with Pat McAfee at WrestleMania 38. Even though he might have lost the match Vince has not let his faith in his waiver.
Austin was given the US Championship match after WrestleMania 38 and he certainly did not disappoint the viewers and Vince.
#4 Theory listens to what the Boss says
Recently there have been a lot of segments of Austin and Vince McMahon together and Theory himself says that he has learned quite a few things from him.
“The one thing I’ve learned from him is this respectful aggressiveness. Showing you have that respect, but if you have an idea and are passionate about something, you have to use that aggressiveness to go after it,” said Theory.
Given that Vince McMahon is the personal on-screen mentor for Theory, says volumes about what he thinks of him.
BEST. SELFIE. EVER.
Can’t wait to get another with Mr. @VinceMcMahon and the @WWE championship!!! #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/PCK1FAmBTp

#5 Vince McMahon shows his presence once in a while
If Vince continues to work closely with Theory on television, it’ll also build Theory’s characters a lot faster. After all, learning directly from Vince must make someone good in wrestling.
In the last few years, McMahon has rarely appeared on WWE television. And most people probably can’t even remember the last time he had a one-on-one segment with a wrestler.
Theory seems to be a Superstar that WWE and McMahon have aspiring matches for. Considering his push and in-ring talent, he may become a massive star for the company in the years to come.
