Unique WWE Money In The Bank Plan For Austin Theory Revealed?
WWE planning first-time-ever feat for Mr. Money In The Bank?
WWE may have long-term plans up its sleeves for Austin Theory and his Money In The Bank briefcase.
Per WrestleVotes in conjunction with GiveMeSport, the promotion has at least formulated the idea of having Theory hold the case (and its guaranteed World Championship match contract) for a full calendar year. This would take Austin through to the 2023 MITB premium live event. From there, WWE would go with the idea that Theory must cash in before the end of the show, with the clock ticking.
Said WrestleVotes:-
There is an idea that he is the first guy to wait a full year, like the day of or let's say night of Money in the Bank next year. That's the storyline, like 'you have to cash this in in two and a half hours. You have to cash this in in 90 minutes.' That type of thing. I know that idea is on the table
Theory has held the MITB briefcase since triumphing in the titular ladder match of this year's 2 July PLE. He has since mounted several failed attempts at cashing in, most notable when he was knocked out by Tyson Fury at Clash At The Castle in September, and has even teased the idea of using his guaranteed title fight in the United States and NXT divisions lately.
Despite his positioning under Vince McMahon's WWE leadership, Theory has not been pushed strongly since becoming Mr. Money In The Bank, losing feuds with Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley decisively.
