So after watching Austin Theory's segments with the Mysterios the last couple of weeks I couldn't help but think that Theory kind of reminds me of a young Randy Orton. Idk if he'll ever reach those heights, but I can see him being a solid upper-mid carder at least. His matches with the Mysterios were entertaining as well.
Thoughts?

Kid has a lot of potential. Potential garbage human, but since that doesn’t matter when it comes to pro wrestling, he will probably go far.

I loved him with The Way but haven't liked his main roster runs so far but its just getting started so ill set back and give it time. You can tell the guy is talented so I'm looking forward to see where he goes.

Definitely has a young Randy Orton vibe from Orton being in the WWE in late 2002 on Raw when he went heel.
I like Austin Theory. But I am sure he will get lost in the shuffle as all new talent does on the main roster.

Would have benefitted from a longer run in NXT. He was fantastic as part of The Way but I think he had a North American title run in him to legitimise him a bit before a call up.
A feud with Hayes wouldnhave been awesome too, oh well.

I believe if he is booked well and can get over with the crowd, that the company will have a major star and top guy on their hands in 2 - 2 1/2 years time.

He won't be like Randy Orton, because he doesn't have guys like Triple H and Ric Flair helping him out.

He’s nothing special.
Which probably means he’s a future world champ.

I think Vince probably likes him. No other explanation why Gargano/Ciampa still NXT and Theory gets ticket straight to the top. This picture says more than words can say:

I mean Theory has more of the size, the look, and is younger than Gargano and Ciampa so there's that 🤷♂️

This picture says more than words can say: Ciampa has spoken many times that he prefer stay in NXT because with his neck he can’t keep up with the travel of the main roster and Gargano wants to stay in NXT because, well why wouldn’t he want to? He’s been presented as a star there, hangs out with Triple H and HBK, and gets to be with his wife. Main roster could change all of that.
