Austin Theory: Brock Lesnar Doesn’t Sugarcoat Things

Austin Theory may not have had much success during his encounters with Brock Lesnar, but the two have made memorable moments together. 

Brock has taken a selfie with Theory, F5’d him off the top of an Elimination Chamber pod, and beat him up inside Madison Square Garden. 

Speaking to Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT, Theory described what it’s like working with Lesnar. 

“I think he’s so great to work with. Just the presence he has, the energy and the connection he has with the audience, it just does great things for me anytime I’m out there with him. Especially Elimination Chamber, I couldn’t have asked for that to go any better. Well, maybe not getting thrown off the pod. But, other than that, it was a great experience. The MSG match, that was something I’m just going to remember forever. My first MSG event, the main event, WWE championship, Brock Lesnar – it’s crazy. When it comes to Brock Lesnar, he’s where he is at because of how good he is and I was very grateful for that opportunity,” he said.

Theory continued by saying, “Lesnar is definitely the strongest person I’ve met in the ring. I’m a 225lb guy and I was flat on my stomach and next thing I know I’m just flying through the air. I’m like ‘did you want any help!?! Never mind!’ He’s very good at his job so he’ll let you know if he wants something to happen and if not just shut up and listen. He doesn’t sugarcoat it. You want to be good? Then be good. And I like that mindset, that’s how you get places.”

Theory has become one of the featured stars on WWE Raw, sharing the screen with Vince McMahon, who has taken Theory under his wing. 

Theory is set to face Pat McAfee at WrestleMania 38. You can view the current lineup for the show by clicking here.
