NXT and Raw debuts (2019–2020)

On August 15, 2019, it was announced that he had signed a contract with WWE and would report to the WWE Performance Center.[17] On the December 25 episode of NXT, Theory made his in-ring debut, accepting an open challenge against Roderick Strong for the NXT North American Championship, but failed to win the title.[18] On the January 8, 2020 episode of NXT, Theory achieved his first victory by defeating Joaquin Wilde.[19]

Theory appeared on the March 30 episode of Raw as an associate of Zelina Vega, establishing himself as a heel.[20] Theory teamed with Angel Garza and Seth Rollins in a losing effort to Kevin Owens and Raw Tag Team Champions The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).[21] On the second night of WrestleMania 36 on April 5, Theory and Garza unsuccessfully challenged The Street Profits for the Raw Tag Team Championship.[22] The following night on Raw, Theory and Garza lost to The Street Profits in a rematch for the titles.[23] After defeating Akira Tozawa on the April 13 episode of Raw, Vega's other associates, Garza and Andrade joined him in beating down Tozawa as all three posed together, confirming their status as a faction.[24] However, on the May 18 episode of Raw, he was attacked by Andrade and Garza after accidentally costing them a tag team match against Apollo Crews and Kevin Owens, kicking him out of the faction.[25] Later that same night, he assisted Seth Rollins and Murphy in attacking Aleister Black, formally joining Rollins' group as a disciple.[26] However, following the June 22 episode of Raw, he stopped appearing with Rollins and Murphy.[27]

The Way (2020–2021)

Main article: The Way

On the August 26 episode of NXT, Theory returned to television by interrupting Bronson Reed, moving back to the brand.[28][29] He then made his in-ring return on the September 8 episode of NXT, losing to Reed.[30] At NXT TakeOver: WarGames on December 6, Theory helped Johnny Gargano win his third NXT North American Championship.[31] He then appeared on the December 9 episode of NXT to reveal he was part of a villainous faction called The Way with Gargano, his real life wife Candice LeRae, and Indi Hartwell.[32] On December 30, Theory won the 2020 NXT Year-End Award for Future Star of NXT.[33]

In January 2021, Theory and Gargano competed in the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, losing to Kushida and Leon Ruff in the first round.[34] For the next few months, Theory helped Gargano retain the North American Championship against numerous opponents. Following a loss to Kyle O'Reilly on the July 20 episode of NXT,[35] Theory took an absence from NXT television, until he returned on the premiere of NXT 2.0, attending the wedding of Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis in his final NXT appearance.[36]

Storyline with Mr. McMahon (2021–2022)

As part of the 2021 Draft, Theory was drafted to the Raw brand.[37] On the October 4 episode of Raw, Theory returned to the brand by attacking Jeff Hardy following his loss to Damian Priest[38] and defeated him on the next two episodes of Raw.[39][40] At Survivor Series on November 21, Theory was a part of Team Raw, eliminating Sheamus before he was eliminated by Hardy, but his team won the match against Team SmackDown.[41] The following night on Raw, it was revealed that Theory took Cleopatra's Egg from Mr. McMahon, leading to McMahon to reward Theory a WWE Championship match against Big E in the main event for "showing intestinal fortitude", which he lost.[42]

On the January 17, 2022 episode of Raw, after defeating Finn Bálor, McMahon rewarded Theory a spot in the Royal Rumble match.[43] At the namesake event on January 29, Theory entered his first Royal Rumble match at #3, lasting 22 minutes before he was eliminated by AJ Styles.[44] On the January 31 episode of Raw, Theory defeated Kevin Owens in a Elimination Chamber qualifying match.[45] At Elimination Chamber on February 19, Theory failed to win the WWE Championship after he was last pinned by Brock Lesnar in a match also involving Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Styles, Riddle and defending champion Bobby Lashley; towards the end of the match, Lesnar and Theory generated buzz when Lesnar performed the F-5 on Theory from the top of the Elimination Chamber pod down to the floor.[46] On the February 28 episode of Raw, Theory bribed McMahon into having himself accompany him to his interview with Pat McAfee to no avail.[47] On the March 4 episode of SmackDown, Theory confronted McAfee and announced he would be his opponent at WrestleMania 38.[48][49] On the second night of the event on April 3, Theory lost to McAfee, but helped McMahon defeat McAfee in the subsequent fight that ensued right after.[50]

United States Champion and Mr. Money in the Bank (2022–present)

The following night on Raw, Theory and The Usos defeated RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) and Finn Bálor after Theory pinned Bálor, earning the chance to challenge for his United States Championship.[51] In a backstage segment the following week, Theory announced he and Mr. McMahon decided that the name Austin did not suit him anymore (due to Stone Cold Steve Austin performing a Stunner on both Theory and McMahon at WrestleMania 38), dropping the first name and going by Theory.[52] On the April 18 episode of Raw, Theory defeated Bálor to win the title for the first time in his career; with this win, he became the second youngest United States Champion in the title's history and the youngest champion under the WWE banner.[53] At Hell in a Cell on June 5, Theory retained the title against Mustafa Ali.[54]

At Money in the Bank on July 2, Theory lost the United States Championship to Bobby Lashley, ending his reign at 75 days.[55] Later that night, he was added to and won the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match; this win made him the youngest superstar to win the Money in the Bank contract in WWE history, as well as being the first Money in the Bank winner to lose a title and win the contract on the same night.[56] At SummerSlam on July 30, Theory failed to regain the United States Championship in a rematch against Lashley.[57] Later that night, he attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank contract during the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Last Man Standing match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, but was hit with an F-5 by Lesnar before he could officially cash in.[58] At Clash at the Castle on September 3 on the pre-show, with his ring name reverted back to Austin Theory, he and Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) lost to The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) and Madcap Moss.[59] Later that night, he again attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank contract during the main event, only to be knocked out by Tyson Fury before officially doing so.[60] On the November 7 episode of Raw, Theory cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth "Freakin" Rollins for the United States Championship but was unsuccessful, partially due to interference from Bobby Lashley.[61]

On November 26, at Survivor Series WarGames; Theory defeated Rollins and Lashley in a triple threat match to win the United States Championship for the second time in his career.[62]
