Theory got his ass beat tonight too. He was like Baron Corbin in that Becky Lynch segment years ago.

I thought HHH did a pretty good job booking him in NXT. I give up on trying to figure out who's doing what on the main roster.

I think the fact that, for a good stretch of time before Vince forced himself back in back in, HHH had every opportunity to depush him and rebuild him and instead kept going with what Vince had started sort of counteracts any kind of point about him not liking the guy. Because he clearly thinks something will work eventually and nothing has.
Like, in a space of 5 months, dude’s been in the ring with John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock and there’s no possible proof that people care about him more than they did after any of those. Like, for all of Orton’s flaws when he started and was more heel, people at least were able to boo him. Theory couldn’t get boos in a town’s local Haunted House attraction.

Props to Theory for Friday. He seemed like he belonged in there with The Rock on the mic and didn’t wilt. He shows flashes from time to time, but definitely could use some kind of change to his character.

I always kind of assumed that HHH knew that Theory was Vince's pet project, and figured there'd be a good chance Vince would come back, so better to not rock the boat too much. So just dial him back at bit, give him his full name again, but don't make drastic changes since Vince has a clear vision of what he wants. I can see Theory being a "don't mess with the presentation til I get back, pal" kinda thing. And since Vince has been in charge (mayhaps the whole time in some capacity) Theory has gotten Cena AND The Rock. I don't think this is HHH y'all. A lot of his fingerprints are there, but I've felt Vince creeping back into the product for awhile now. It wouldn't surprise me that sooner rather than later all HHH has is a meaningless job title, and the role of scapegoat for Vince. But I could be wrong. It's just a hunch.

Like, at the end of the day, just like a lot of things it seems, HHH had an opportunity to put a new stamp on stuff and didn't. And it's very hard for me to buy into him knowing Vince was coming back unless he knew everything about how his role and his stock power works which I just feel very pie in the sky about. I agree with you that Vince will probably have more creative power and HHH will be just the guy who is a puppet for Vince but I also find it hard to believe that HHH had a shot at improving Austin Theory and didn't because of something that, at the time, nobody expected to happen.

It's just really funny that now they keep trying to put him with Grayson Waller for a rub when Grayson Waller is just a better version of him in every facet... it's just blatantly hilarious
I guess one positive is Pretty Deadly now seem out of his orbit which like... thank god, I want to cheer those guys

Companies can always use heels like that so I wouldn’t expect them to just jettison Theory, especially at his age. Pretty Deadly and Theory together could be something though as they can give his character a small change and lean into the comedy for a bit.

Lashley speaking for all of us on Smackdown this week when offered a chance to manage Austin Theory.
“I know what Austin Theory is all about so I’m gonna pass on that one”

Why not make him a Narcissist? Have him pose in front of multiple mirrors and stuff. Dude obviously isn't as muscular as Luger or Chris Masters were, but dude is one of the more swole members of the roster and he does have the physique to pull off the gimmick.
It would be something more than "Dude from ATL".
