WWE Royal Rumble 2022: 10 Things That Must Happen
3. Austin Theory Almost Goes Bell-To-Bell
Go out of your way to see Austin Theory's match with AJ Styles from Monday's Raw. That, dear reader, was a star-elevating performance that bodes very well for Theory's WWE future. Also, take a bow AJ. This man still has it in him to produce scorchers in his sleep.
Vince McMahon's young prodigy should be revealed as #1 in the Rumble on the night and come eerily close to going the full way. Austin can be the MVP (not that MVP) of the match without actually winning it in the end - if he lasts a solid hour or so, then people will remember his 'Iron Man' night even when he finally get thrown out.
Why not? Rumbles were made for this stuff.
It'd be ace to see Theory eliminate a few babyfaces and repeatedly brag to fans around ringside that he's "doing this for the boss". WWE have a blue chipper on their hands here, one who's capable of working 60 mins plus.
