The WWE has few enigmas as complicated as the professional life of Austin Theory. He gained widespread acclaim for his role as the new wave of WWE talent but saw his life take a sudden turn for the worse that perplexed all the fans across the globe.

Vince McMahon personally selected Theory on which he embarked on his professional life under the bright lights due to his clear talents and charisma. As soon as McMahon officially selected Theory his profile in the WWE transformed to be one of the best prospects.

Vince McMahon's retirement ushered in a whole new change to the world of wrestling which Triple H led as its new head. WWE fans widely discuss the sudden setbacks Theory encountered as these events seem to have hampered his professional development.

The Money in the Bank Misstep

He faced an enormous setback while cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase during the event when he failed to capture championship glory.

Theory's failed attempt at cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase not only resulted in his loss but confirmed observers saw him as someone who attempted to overreach their abilities beyond the main event status.

Theory's wrong estimation of situations caused many viewers and industry experts to doubt both how well his direction was being handled and the state of his reputation.

What position does Theory hold as the greatest WWE wrestler to experience such a fall from popularity? People who observe wrestling know about the unusual experience of Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy secured victory in the Money in the Bank ladder match during WrestleMania 23 which appeared like a promising start to a great career. His sudden WWE departure became a legendary story because he left after injuries together with backstage disputes.

Pursuing a rapid ascension Muhammad Hassan faced extreme hardship as his wrestling persona was terminated after facing racially contentious plots which demonstrated that external factors impact wrestlers' professional progression.

The move of Theory from "SmackDown" to "RAW" alongside fellow wrestler Grayson Waller suggests WWE might be preparing him for a fresh start. From this change the character may seek new plots to regain fame lost previously.
