7 Ups & 9 Downs From WWE Raw (Nov 8)

Ups…

7. Theory Gets His Snaps

Sometimes the small stuff deserves mention, and this week, that means Austin Theory.

Theory has built himself up as a cocky young heel who grabs selfies with his opponents, typically after beating them. On Monday, he snuck into the trainer’s room to grab a surreptitious photo of the Mysterios, then made his way out to ringside before the main event to take shots with all three announcers and Big E (he actually got one photo off – it’s on his Twitter).

E then smacked the phone out of Austin’s hand, sending the rookie off to head to the back. It was a perfect putdown that didn’t humiliate Theory, but also didn’t make E look impotent. Looking forward to the next escapade with the selfie-grabbing superstar.
