Austin Theory’s status in WWE is shrouded in uncertainty after recent reports indicate he has been removed from the company’s internal active roster. This development follows his on-screen exit due to an injury, which also facilitated the breakup of his tag team with Grayson Waller known as “A-Town Down Under.”
According to sources from PWInsider, WWE officials have confirmed Theory’s omission from the list of active performers. Although WWE has acknowledged his injury on television, the specific details surrounding it remain undisclosed. Being removed from the active roster can be interpreted as a signal of a potential long-term absence or an impending departure from the company, although there has been no official communication regarding his contract status.
The change comes on the heels of the abrupt on-screen dissolution of the tag team with Grayson Waller. During the July 21 episode of Monday Night Raw, Waller announced that their partnership had come to an end because of Theory’s injury. Waller even took to social media to make light of the situation, claiming he had “saved” Theory’s career following an earlier storyline where Theory was “buried alive” by John Cena, which occurred in the lead-up to WrestleMania 39.
This split marks a significant turning point for both performers, especially since they had a successful run that culminated in capturing the WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 40 in a Six-Pack Ladder Match. Their partnership experienced tension for some time before the official breakup, as they frequently argued and jeopardized each other’s matches. Theory’s last appearance in the ring was during a July 14 taping of WWE Main Event, where he faced El Grande Americano.
With Theory now inactive and off the roster, his future in the WWE remains ambiguous, while Grayson Waller appears to be moving on as a singles competitor on Monday Night Raw. This transition signals a new chapter for both wrestlers, illustrating the ever-changing landscape of WWE storytelling. Fans and analysts will be keenly watching to see how this situation evolves and what it means for the careers of both Theory and Waller going forward.
