10 WWE Stars Who BADLY Need New Gimmicks After WrestleMania 40

3. Austin Theory

Prediction: Austin Theory will break out from his tag-team with Grayson Waller and become a successful babyface lauded for being naturally likeable. That's the kind of comment which could blow up in a writer's face, but let's roll with it. Anyone who has met Theory knows the deal there.

He's a personable, charming dude who's also great with kids.

Being honest, Austin's heel run feels a bit forced nowadays. WWE has tried a little too hard to make him The Miz from 2010 rather than just letting Theory find his own voice, and that's why he's been lumped in a tag rather than turning Money In The Bank wins into main event success.

This "A-Town Down" stuff is rather naff as well, and it's holding him back. Going forwards, Austin should be allowed to show off his organic (and rather geeky) love of all things wrestling. That'd endear him to fans, at least.
