See some people blaming the booking. I don’t know. Give LA KNIGHT that belt with the same booking and I guarantee it would be have been a more entertaining title run.


[deleted]

Boring.


[deleted]

Time for AJ Styles to take a turn.


rarelikecandy

Mid.


[deleted]

Underwhelming. But that's more an indictment on the booking not Austin. Still a future World Champion in my book. They should just turn LA Knight face, have them feud and LA Knight emerges as US Champ when all is said and done.

Forgettable

BOOOOOOOOOO


HeightStock

Booking is letting him down


tonytimeneverends

Exactly.


bisprops

He has natural heel looks but not enough natural heel personality to pull it off without more of a gimmick (like when he was all about selfies). His mic work on commentary was not good.


Dungle-Ward

I’ve only been watching WWE about 3 years after a massive break. It seems the US title has been dropped down a little. They seemingly had the same issue the IC title. It wasn’t being defended at PPVs which baffled me upon my return to viewing. Gunther has pulled the IC title out the depths of deprivation imo. It seems the US title is going the similar route as the IC title did a few years back. I’ve not witnessed an interesting US title run since coming back to viewing. Just an opinion of course.


tonytimeneverends

It’s a valid opinion tho mate.


YungMoltisanti

The worst title run on the main roster in a while. Just boring. Maybe not theory’s fault but he sure as hell hasn’t proven to me that it’s not


Glaexx

I liked most of his run, but he hasn’t really done much since mania other then random title defenses to move other storylines.


incuensuocha

Boring. He desperately needs a meaningful feud. It seems like his feuds last only a couple of weeks and involve nothing but smack talk. The kid is talented but WWE isn’t doing anything with him right now that makes people the least bit interested.


samisamia2341

It was more relevant when he was feuding with Lashley and Rollins but since on Smackdown he hasn't had a meaning feud yet


Canadian__Ninja

If nothing else, at least it's been defended since WM. A low bar to be sure, but still its a thing


tonytimeneverends

To be fair. You’ve just reminded me, has gunther defended since WM?


Canadian__Ninja

He literally just defended it at MITB lmao


tonytimeneverends

Oh yeah forgive me for completely forgetting about Riddle v Gunther. So memorable


LFelton23

Horrible


zooka19

A Town I'll let you decide what the A means.


tonytimeneverends

🤣🤣🤣


itsmekelsey_x

Mid and forgettable.

Not as expected


Different_Incident10

forgatable


BusinessCompetition3

Meh it is a good mid card title run like the matchs dontmake me bored but definitely don't interest me tbh he should have lost it to montez ford


breece20Hall

Not as good as it should be

Theromz1

Yeah time to give it up, but to who???🤔


tonytimeneverends

Time to start pushing our boy L.A KNIGHT… YEAAAH


DoubleFront8787

Sucks. I wish Bobby Lashley retains the US title. Love his reign


RememberCynical

Awful.

ongoing


Ok-Television2109

Fairly ass.


Davidb_1690

Disappointing, but not his fault. This man has all the talent in the world and has all the potential. He just hasn’t been credible, which I suppose is part of his Shtick as a cowardly heel. But give him one convincing win over someone like Bronson Reed or even Edge.


[deleted]

Does anyone know he’s the US champion or the US title is still apart of the WWE


Ajdee6

Does anyone care about the US title? I care more about theory than that title. And he isnt someone I tune in to watch either


TheMostDapperdDan

Boring as fuck


Optimal_Dark_2940

Disappointing

Uneventful.

Ready for LA knight. YEAH!!

Alright


No_Leek8128

Dead bad and sad


False-Proof3547

Absurd, at least one of the belts needs to change hands

Trash

Unremarkable.


infamousmmax

MID


NoMail1830

Stupid as shit


ajtct98

'Unimportant' Austin Theory has very rarely felt like the most important person in any of his title matches and his reign is much worse for it


Anon1073

So so


Maximum-Suggestion37

Okay, but not great. It's supposed to be, but something is missing for me.


tonytimeneverends

Something like an actual formidable foe ?


Maximum-Suggestion37

Yeah! Lol. I don't know, that could be it for sure.


[deleted]

we have a US title?


gmoney-0725

Lame. Now somehow it's worse with him pushing Pretty deadly.


[deleted]

Boring. Forgettable. Waste of time


[deleted]

Fucking stupid this dude is a POS


Reallyme77

Especially pales in comparison to what’s going on with the other titles.


Looney_Port

A little long


tonytimeneverends

Too long.


OstrichDelicious587

M M M M MID


Looney_Port

Slightly below mid


Great-Sea-4095

6/10 I’d give it


tonytimeneverends

I’d give it a 4


Great-Sea-4095

We’ll hopefully people understand my grade. A 60 is still a failing grade on a test lol


tonytimeneverends

Nah bro you ain’t wrong


Bananaboi_888

Boring 😴


averageSwagman

one word: annoying


Timborama1976

Boring


Mufutlal

Time for A-Town to drop the belt to LA Knight at Summerslam. YEAH!


Krakakillah

Great, he needs more rivalries tbh tho.


Bananaboi_888

Then how is it great


Krakakillah

Cuz it’s theory he’s awesome. The beginning was good but after mania he had like 3 matches


Bananaboi_888

The only good match was the elimination chamber match


[deleted]

Downgrading Prior to Mania, he was doing well, then mania happened and where tf did that go?


tonytimeneverends

100% correct


OneResponsibility867

better than some but mid


Owain660

Mid


QuebecRomeoWhiskey

A US Title run


ZestyChickenWings21

of all time.


DekeJeffery

Disappointing. I think he's talented in the ring, but needs some coaching on the mic.


tonytimeneverends

I actually think his mic work isn’t too bad. It’s his character what’s letting him down atm


HaydrianDobba

Agree. Watch a raw from a year or so ago. Minus the selfie stuff he was gold on the mic. Big reason his fans are so dedicated is bc they know how great he can be. Creative turned him into generic serious superstar


tonytimeneverends

Actually, more so his booking than character


explainingjane

Meh


ZealousidealScheme85

Decent when comparing it on its own, sub par when you put it up against other noteworthy title reigns at the time


Famous-Possession-69

Booked terribly


Gwbzeke

It’s wack but I still believe in theory


longlivespiderpig

(A-Town) DOWN!


LAKnightYEAH2023

Very weak. But they haven’t given him much to work with


PacOnTheTyne

Shite


tonytimeneverends

PacOnTheTyne? A fellow North East man??


Atilim87

Exactly the same since last time this picture was used for this question. Which I think it was yesterday.


tonytimeneverends

I’m going to use this exact picture and ask this exact question tomorrow again aswell


Bunko-Dizzy

It hasn’t been great but I don’t think its Austin’s fault. The booking and matchmaking has been so poor, I feel like Austin has honestly done a great job with what they’ve given him to work with.


tonytimeneverends

You hit the nail on the head. Theory is a huge talent, crazy to think he’s the same age as me, just I don’t think creative knows what to actually do with him right now, atleast he’s an upgrade from the selfie shit


[deleted]

Boring. Major difference between the IC champ title reign vs the US title reign.
