Brock Lesnar is not the WWE Champion anymore. But he is still the youngest WWE Champion. Lesnar defeated The Rock at WWE SummerSlam in 2002 to become the youngest WWE Champion.

However, WWE Raw superstar Austin Theory might become the youngest WWE Champion if he wins in Saudi Arabia. Austin Theory ended 2021 on a high. Ever since his move to WWE Raw, the former NXT superstar had appeared in various backstage segments with the WWE chairman Vince McMahon.

For the past few months, Vince McMahon has been a mentor to Theory. Following his push in the main roster, Theory has been trying to impress the WWE chairman.

Soon the WWE Raw superstar will have a massive opportunity to impress Mr. McMahon in Saudi Arabia. Austin Theory will compete for the WWE Championship at the 2022 Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event.

Recently, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Austin revealed this match at WWE Elimination Chamber as his biggest challenge. He also talked about the possibility of becoming the youngest WWE Champion in history.

Austin Theory said, “As an eight-year-old watching WWE for the first time, it was always a goal of mine to win the WWE title. Especially the opportunity I have in Saudi Arabia at the Elimination Chamber, this is huge.”

“It is the biggest challenge I ever had, and this is everything that I’ve been working for. Everybody knows once you win the WWE Championship, your life change and this could possibly be me becoming the youngest WWE Champion in the history,” he added.

If Theory becomes the WWE Champion at the 2022 Elimination Chamber, he will break Brock Lesnar’s record of being the youngest WWE Champion in history.

Interestingly, Brock Lesnar will also be a part of the match, along with Theory and four other superstars. After his loss at Royal Rumble, the Beast Incarnate will be determined to win back the WWE Championship.
