If Vince is smart, then there'll be at least one tournament to determine who wears at least one of the big belts. It stands to reason that Roman can't hold the two titles (indeed, even one) while he's staring 6-9 months of recovery in the face, nor does it stand that he can return after said recovery and expect to be thrown right back into the main event scene. Has he been confirmed injured by any legit sources yet? I saw photos of his arm but didn’t see anything reported yet.

I would love if they have Theory beat Finn for the IC title tonight. Strike while the momentum is hot.

What momentum does Theory have? Negative momentum count? Did y’all just not watch the show? Theory got the rub by Vince and got to be in a segment with Stone Cold Steve Austin. That’s a lot further than many.

I watched the show and Austin Theory lost to Pat Macafee pretty f***ing handedly... and then was punked out by Stone Cold.
That's... not really what I would call momentum at all

I think after last night he's definitely gonna have some post-Mania momentum. Sure the memorable bits were him getting his ass kicked and Stunnered to the moon, but I think how well he did there is gonna endear him with a lot of people. Like I've already lost track of how many times I've seen that Stunner gif today and people praising the f*** out of Theory for how he sold it. tldr; The Grayson Waller Effect

That's... not really what I would call momentum at all Pat McAfee was one of the most over guys the whole weekend. Him winning was the right call for the Mania moment. And Austin is WWE’s GOAT. That doesn’t hurt Theory at all. If anything, it put more eyeballs on people to watch him.

Losing and getting a stunner did nothing to hurt his character. The entire thing helped get him over. He was getting massive boos last night. That's the only thing that matters. His character got rub by being in the ring with Austin. The introduction by Vince and him calling him a future world champion. That's the momentum that you need to keep going.

And Big Show lost to Floyd Mayweather. Losing to mainstream celebs is a big moment and gets mainstream press. Plus Theory lost to a roll up, so it was more a surprise win than anything. Not like he had to sell damage.

I didn't say the dude was done.
I said he didn't really have much momentum coming out of Mania and getting beatup twice...

Eh...I mean Theory is clearly having a push right now. I'm not saying that based on last night, I'm saying that based on the fact that Theory beat Ricochet (the current IC Champion) last week and a week prior he had Balor beat and the only reason he lost is McAfee interfering in the match 3 times. He's been getting some legit wins these past few months in a way that him beating Balor or Ricochet for a midcard belt makes sense.
Losing to someone like McAfee or any celebrity doesn't mean you're depushed, if anything those who work with celebrities are the ones pushed. They give those spots to people they trust and then a few months later they get a belt. Sami for example, he's probably going to get a belt within the next year based off his performance against Knoxville. That's just what they do.
