Austin Theory’s Unexpected WWE Title Loss
Austin Theory, who had been holding onto the US Championship with pride, was initially set to defend his title against Santos Escobar on the August 11th edition of SmackDown.
However, in a twist of events, Theory launched two attacks on Escobar during the show, rendering him unfit to compete. This unforeseen circumstance paved the way for Rey Mysterio to step in and challenge Theory for the title.
The match saw Mysterio deploying his signature 619/splash combo, which led to him pinning Theory and subsequently becoming the new US Champion.
This change of guard was unexpected, and fans were eager to hear from Theory post this significant loss.
