• Seth Rollins On The Real Reason Behind Austin Theory Being Off WWE TV
WWE RAW’s Austin Theory, who’s a part of Seth Rollins’ stable, was abruptly taken off TV after the COVID-19 testing began in WWE. Soon after that, Theory was accused of sending “gross” messages to a minor online.
In a report from the Wrestling Observer, it was noted that Theory has been on an unannounced suspension by WWE. However, nothing is confirmed by the company itself.
While discussing his upcoming SummerSlam match with Dominik Mysterio in an interview with Sporting News, Seth Rollins was asked where Theory has been.
He replied the following:
“He had some personal issues that came up so he took some time off to sort through them for the past month or two. It’s hard right now but we hope everything’s good for him so we hope to have him back sooner than later.”
