10 Biggest WWE Losers Of 2024

10. Austin Theory

It's appalling to see how Austin Theory went from being Vince McMahon's modern-day chosen one and beating John Cena at WrestleMania 39 to being an afterthought. It's safe to say that 2024 was not kind to Austin Theory, as he racked up 33 losses out of the 48 matches he competed in this year.

Forming A-Town Down Under with Grayson Waller seemed like a fruitful endeavor for Theory, at least on paper. The duo found some success by winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 40 and then getting rebranded as the new WWE Tag Team Champions. However, WWE failed to follow through with decent title defenses, and Theory and Waller dropped the title to DIY after 90 days, with just one successful title defense to their name.

WWE then started teasing a rift between Waller and Theory, which hinted at the latter turning face for the first time. However, that's another thing WWE failed to follow through with when it came to the former United States Champion. Instead, WWE sent him and Waller to NXT to put over NXT Tag Team Champions Axiom and Nathan Frazer.

He did get to compete against Cody Rhodes in two dark singles matches in late September to early October, but apart from that, WWE just fed him and Waller to The New Bloodline and The Motor City Machine Guns at live events, and Theory even jobbed to Luke Gallows in a dark match on the 6 December 2024 episode of SmackDown.
