Signs of Frustration: Theory’s Sacrificial Role
The cracks in their partnership were evident during a recent SmackDown match against Johnny Gargano. In the bout’s climactic moments, Waller cunningly avoided a high-flying attack from Gargano by positioning Theory in the line of fire, resulting in Theory crashing into the commentary table. This incident, widely circulated on WWE’s social media channels, captured Theory’s visible frustration as Waller celebrated his victory.
Despite Waller’s attempt to project unity, Theory’s body language told a different story. The former United States Champion, who once triumphed over John Cena, now finds himself playing the sacrificial lamb to Waller’s ambitions. The manipulation and use of Theory as a shield have not gone unnoticed by fans, who speculate that a breakup is imminent.
The Future of Waller and Theory: Fans Weigh In
WWE enthusiasts are divided over the potential breakup. While some believe that splitting the team could lead to compelling storylines and individual growth for both superstars, others argue that their partnership has the potential for further development and success. The dynamics between Waller and Theory, marked by manipulation and moments of genuine teamwork, have kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Waller’s social media post, while aimed at quelling breakup rumors, has instead intensified the speculation. The phrase “take one for the team” takes on a double-edged meaning when the “team” is subjected to Waller’s strategic maneuvering, causing many to question the true nature of their partnership.
WWE Creative’s Plans: A New Rivalry on the Horizon?
With Triple H reportedly behind the idea of turning Theory into a fan-favorite babyface, the WWE Universe is bracing for a showdown between the current tag champions. The potential rivalry promises high drama and intense matches, as both superstars have demonstrated their ability to captivate audiences.
Theory’s journey from a celebrated champion who once bested a legend like John Cena to a partner manipulated into taking hits for Waller sets the stage for a classic underdog storyline. Fans are eager to see if Theory will finally stand up to Waller and reclaim his rightful place in the spotlight.
A Team on the Brink
As WWE fans continue to speculate, one thing is clear: the partnership between Grayson Waller and Austin Theory is on shaky ground. Waller’s attempts to dismiss breakup rumors and praise Theory may be genuine, but the visible frustration and manipulation cannot be ignored. The WWE Universe is left wondering not if, but when the inevitable split will occur, and how it will shape the future of these two rising stars.
