Austin Theory

Theory at WrestleMania

**Austin White** (born August 2, 1997) is an American professional wrestler and bodybuilder. He is currently signed to WSC under the ring name **Austin Theory** (formerly just **Theory**).

### WrestleMania (2022)

Theory (as **Theory**) made his WSC debut when he selfishly took a selfie in front of a wounded Jon Moxley.

During the reveal of the fifth Deadly Games match, Theory was announced to have a qualifying match against AJ Styles to fight in the Deadly Games at WrestleMania. Theory would go on to win the qualifying match. During a promo made by Cody Rhodes, Theory (now as **Austin Theory**) thought it was a good idea to attack him. So he did with help from Seth Rollins. Ricochet later broke up the two.

### Deadly Games (2023-present)

On March 19, The Fifth Deadly Games Match finally came. The match included Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Theory, Ricochet, CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes. However, Nathan talked on the mic announcing one more guy in the Deadly Games. That being, the one and only Joker Jon Moxley! Interestingly, Nathan meant to invite the ordinary Jon Moxley, but looks like that didn't went to plan. During the match, AJ Styles attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank but got hit with a GTS by Punk before he could. Unfortunately for Reigns, Moxley got him ready to hit a Paradigm Shift, but all of a sudden Seth came and pushed the two off, and both went through the cell, eliminating them. Not to long after, Brock Lesnar came back in a Semi to try and steal the belt from the competitors. He went to grab the belt, but got hit by a Cross Rhodes from Cody, knocking him to the scaffolding. Cody then grabbed down the title and became our NEW WSC Hardcore Champion, ending the 351 day reign of Reigns.

Weeks later, Theory was training under Mick Foley, who he chatted with before the Deadly Games match. Foley's training tactics basically involves beating up Theory to test if he can withstand the pain. He ran Theory over for crying out loud. Theory then showed up at the 2023 Royal Rumble at #1. At first, Theory had a hard time fighting with #2 Joker Jon Moxley, but he learned to withstand Moxley's attacks, like what Foley taught him. When #3, Omos entered the match, who has bad blood with Theory. However, Theory randomly bodyslammed Omos and with help from Moxley, Theory eliminated Omos. Theory went on to eliminate Fat Bastard (with help from everyone) and even eliminated Randy Orton. However, when Theory tried to get back in the ring, he got hit with a curb stomp from former ally Rollins, which eliminated him.

A few months later, Nathan announces that Theory will face against Daniel Bryan, Orton, and Kenny Omega in a Fatal 4 Way match with the winner becoming the #1 Contender for the now called WSC World Hardcore Championship. By the end of the match, it looked like Theory was about to win and finally get a title opportunity after hitting the A-Town Down on Orton. Then Mick Foley was seen passing a chair to Theory to top it off. But when Theory turned around he was met with an RKO. Orton went for the pin and won the match, making him the #1 Contender for the WSC World Hardcore Championship from champion Rhodes.
