What is being said about WWE’s creative plans for Austin Theory following injury to Seth Rollins

Earlier this month, there were rumors that Austin Theory was potentially going to be part of Seth Rollins’ WarGames team at WWE Survivor Series. However, creative plans have now changed due to Rollins’ shoulder injury.

Twitter/X account @WrestleVotes noted the following about Theory’s status…

“Sources indicate there are still voices within the company pushing to keep Austin Theory involved in creative plans, even after the recent shuffling caused by Seth Rollins’ injury. The idea of Theory joining The Vision was at least discussed, and he still has internal support moving forward to reappear on TV in a significant manner.”

Theory’s last match was on July 14th 2025 taping of Main Event against El Grande Americano. Theory is still listed on WWE.com’s roster page and has reportedly been recovering from an undisclosed injury.
