Austin Theory is ready to create his own WrestleMania moment on Sunday night.
Austin Theory spoke with WrestleZone’s Dominic DeAngelo ahead of his WrestleMania 38 match with Pat McAfee. Theory said he’s happy to be on such a big stage at WrestleMania, but he’s not too thrilled about sharing the spotlight with McAfee.
“You know what? This is WrestleMania, the biggest event that there is in sports entertainment, and I’ve got to face a guy named Patrick. Come on, it sucks! Pat McAfee? You think about all of the legends at WrestleMania, all of the moments you can create,” Theory explained, “and I’m just going to have to create one out of a piece of crap like Pat McAfee when I take a selfie with him down after I beat him on the Grandest Stage Of Them All.”
McAfee is a successful NFL star, podcast host and SmackDown commentator, so Theory was asked if he could ever see himself being on the other side of the mic in his future. Theory said full-time commentary isn’t something that appeals to him, but it’s a safer place for McAfee than in the ring with him.
“Oh I definitely could do it better than Pat. I did it a few weeks ago on RAW, but I mean, maybe. I don’t really see myself sitting there and doing that but it could happen. It could be something that I maybe do for a storyline or something. Actually doing it full-time? Probably not,” Theory said.
“I think that guy… Patrick? Is that him? Pat McDonald’s, McAfee… what is it? Something like that. Yeah, I think that guy is safer doing that,” Theory stated, “Because when he comes into the ring, he’s in my world. He’s in Austin Theory’s world.”
