– Speaking to Sportskeeda’s Riju Dasgupta ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber, Austin Theory discussed his selfie photo gimmick and more. Below are some highlights:

Austin Theory on claims he’s ripping off Tyler Breeze’s selfie gimmick: “You see stuff online where people are like, ‘It’s ripping this off, it’s ripping that off.’ To me, it’s a different way of doing it and I’m going about it a different way. Anything that people might have seen before or think they might have seen before, they don’t want to get along with it because they’re like, ‘Well, it’s already happened.’ But I think what I do is totally different.”

On his plan to take a selfie with the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber: “If anybody has a different opinion to that, that’s theirs, but I think it’s gonna be great. I think it’s gonna be so great when I take that selfie in Saudi Arabia with the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber. People can tweet all they want that they hate that. It doesn’t matter because that’s a selfie that’s gonna be in the history books forever.”

Theory will be competing in the men’s Elimination Chamber match at this weekend’s event against WWE Champion Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, and Riddle. The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 19 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
