Looks like they wanted to hit the reset button with him and get rid of the briefcase. I’m glad they did an explanation on why he cashed in on Seth, had him beat down ziggler and end the show with him assaulting Seth

Glad they're still committed to doing something with him because I like him a lot. The fact that they actually provided logical explanations for his actions was really cool.

We'll see where it goes, but it's good to make him more serious and ditch the selfie bit.

Still shouldn’t have cashed in on the US title though. Just have Roman whoop his ass. His promo about how it’s not possible to beat Roman because he kicks too much ass and the Bloodline is always around is pretty weak honestly. You can literally pick the moment when he’s the most vulnerable and the Bloodline has been ran off. Or you know just challenge him to a match where they’re banned from ringside or something. Glad that got the case off him and he’s getting a chance without that albatross but it still wasn’t a good way to go about it IMO.

The thing last week was still stupid and full of logic holes.
But we’ll see if they can do better moving forward. This week at least, the crowd was more into relentlessly mocking Theory no matter what he did on the show.

He already tried waiting for when the Bloodline wasn’t around and he got thwarted by Lesnar and then Fury. |

I loved Meltzer on Observer Radio saying and I quote "they didn't want to bury him" as if they had no choice in the matter.

He already tried waiting for when the Bloodline wasn’t around and he got thwarted by Lesnar and then Fury. He has roughly 8 more months to keep trying. It's for the biggest prize in industry. Why not keep waiting until the right opportunity comes? Why not try to find a way to neutralize the Bloodline? |

This week at least, the crowd was more into relentlessly mocking Theory no matter what he did on the show. He should have answered the open challenge and Come within a hair of beating him. Then Lashley comes down gives Seth the beat down. Theory cashes in. Lashley runs back downand destroys Theory and Seth wins |

He's the male Liv Morgan now. Kinda true. Girls get the “I’m crazy and unhinged” repackaging and Guys get the “I’m angry and aggressive” repackaging |

Why not keep waiting until the right opportunity comes? Why not try to find a way to neutralize the Bloodline? That would be the smart thing to do. Theory isn't smart. He is (or was if this is a character change for him) a complete idiot/goof. It's literally part of his character that he's not the brightest bulb in the hall. This is the guy who was kidnapped by a crazed serial killer type guy and held hostage and when he was freed didn't seem to realize what had happened, thinking it was just a fun weekend. He's basically like Santino/R-Truth levels of dumb. He's stupid and made a stupid decision and paid the consequences for it which has seemingly caused him to re-evaluate. |

But I saw folks make the point that Theory's decision made perfect sense and didn't really bury him. It did because it was a very stupid decision and his rationale was very flawed. |

Why not keep waiting until the right opportunity comes? Why not try to find a way to neutralize the Bloodline? Because he didn’t think he’d be able to, he explained it all last night. It’s also the case that he’s been presented as a bit goofy and aloof and not the smartest. So it’s not far fetched that his character would believe that. |

On one hand, its good that WWE gave an explaination for Austins actions, and his reasoning.
On the other, he still looks like an idiot and should have got the job done against Rollins before Lashley killed the ref.
