Austin Theory Says Joining The Vision Is About the Future, Talks Relationship With Paul Heyman

Austin Theory is officially a member of The Vision, and he commented on his joining the group and relationship with Paul Heyman after WWE Raw. Theory officially joined the group on Monday’s episode of WWE Raw. The announcement came after weeks of Theory under a mask interfering on the group’s behalf, as well as a victory on last week’s show.

Theory appeared on the Raw Recap and spoke about his reason for aligning with the faction. He noted that the group is going to “take everything” going forward. He also spoke about his history with The Oracle, Paul Heyman. You can see the highlights below:

On Joining The Vision:

“Well to me it’s about the future, and that’s exactly what The Vision’s about. It’s about taking, and that’s what I’m all about now. I’m not waiting for opportunities. I’m not looking at my past and saying, ‘Hey, I beat John Cena. Give me something, somebody hand me another opportunity.’ Nah, we just take, and that’s how it feels now, being in the vision. It’s gonna take everything.”

On His Relationship With Paul Heyman:

“I’ve always had a good relationship with Paul. Back when I was the EVOLVE champion, WWE did one of their first shows with EVOLVE and it was at the ECW Arena. That was the first time I ever met Paul. And I didn’t even know that night, but he ended up doing the ring introduction for me. And that kind of set off the relationship there.

“There was another time as well, kind of during the pandemic. I got a opportunity to be on Raw and in that opportunity, that was because of Paul Heyman. So we’ve always had a great relationship. And I think if there’s anybody in this industry that you want looking out for your career, or you’d like to get some knowledge from a Wise Man, it’s Paul Heyman. So I just don’t think he can do any wrong.”

Is that something that you came to when you’re, when you’re at home, when you’re injured and you’re, and you’re trying to figure out what’s next? Was there a a a point when you realized that this was the direction that you needed to take?
