This is such a meaningless match and feud man. I don't think a single person in the audience or watching on TV is ordering Wrestlemania thinking "Man, I can't wait to see Austin Theory vs that commentary guy" What an absolute waste of a spot and no doubt somebody like Balor, Priest or Ricochet will be left off the card. People love McAfee though and this is a great spot for a young guy like Theory. Fans seemed pretty into it last night. I think this could be a fun midcard match. McAfee's previous two matches were good and now that he's a face he might try pull off even crazier stuff. Almost everyone healthy and relevant is going to be on the show (maybe not Alexa Bliss who I read is being saved for a post-Wrestlemania full-time return). It seems obvious Demon Balor will face DAMIEN at Wrestlemania and Ricochet will defend the IC in a ladder or some other multi-man match. With these two-night Wrestlemanias one of the main benefits is almost everyone will get a spot. They have 15-18 matches to fill. The 2020 and 2021 rosters were way more stacked than now and even they managed to find space for a bunch of midcard stuff that would've never made a one-night Mania (Elias v Corbin, Crews v E, Profits v Theory/Garza, Otis v Ziggler, Black v Lashley, two lengthy Tamina matches) Roman/Brock Ronda/Charlotte Becky/Bianca Edge/Styles Rollins/Owens (long-shot of Rollins/Cody and Owens/Austin instead but I'm doubtful) Orton/Riddle Balor/Priest Miz/Mysterios Zayn/Knoxville McIntre/Corbin Theory/McAfee Women's tag (announced as Sasha/Naomi/Zelina/Carmella but last night made it seem like more will be added so probably a tag turmoil like last year) IC title multi-man SD tag titles (Usos v Nakamura/Boogs, if not in the IC match then New Day and Sheamus/Holland involved too) Raw tag titles (Alpha v Profits, potentially RK-Bro if they don't split) That's 15 matches which seems about right (2020 had 16 on the main card and last year had 14) and includes almost everyone on the roster except the T-Bar/Mace level jobbers. I don't think you have to worry about Balor/Priest/Ricochet not being there.

I guess Vince wrestling was just a Theory.

Respectfully disagree.... Mcafee is significantly more popular than you're giving him credit for and it's an excellent spot for Theory to have a meaningful feud. They're clearly behind him and he's holding up his end so far I feel.

Something about a bezel and burning like a kettle? He's unforgettable maybe?

We’re likely getting a Balor/Priest rematch and something involving Ricochet since they have the room.

Given the whole 2 day thing I'd be very surprised if anybody of consequence was actually left off.

He steamrolled wwe’s biggest star at the main event of wrestlemania So Austin is going to get shitcanned in 4 years after spending a couple of years in a Ham and Egger stable, then go back to Atlanta, reinvent himself as a face, get hugely over on the indies and then return and main event 'mania?

The Rock: "I'll come back under one condition."
Vince: "Sure, pal, whatever you want."
The Rock: "f*** Roman, give me that Austin Theory kid."

Future world champions Austin Theory is going to take this and use it to elevate himself. Don't be surprised if he beats Balor for that title within 3 months after this match. Yeah it doesn't make sense but that's what I'd expect lol.
