Austin Theory might not be on TV right now, but that doesnt mean WWE is done with him.
In an update from WrestleVotes on October 21, 2025, it was reported that Theory is still in the conversation when it comes to creative planningdespite being sidelined and missing from WWE programming for months.
Theorys absence has left Grayson Waller to take the spotlight, and WWE even split the two up on-screen. But internally, it seems not everyone is ready to write Theory off just yet. His name continues to come up when long-term storylines are being pitched, particularly around The Vision faction, which took a big hit with Seth Rollins injury and subsequent surgery.
While theres no official word on when Theory will return to the ring, the fact that he still has strong backing behind the scenes shows WWE sees value in keeping him around in some capacity. Whether that means a full comeback at Survivor Series WarGames or something further down the line remains to be seen.
Do you think Austin Theory still has a big future in WWE, or has his momentum faded too much to recover? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
