However, it looks like WWE chairman Vince McMahon sees something in Austin Theory as he picked the Raw superstar personally and gave him the chance of his lifetime.

There are two tag teams in the match, and we know that the Royal Rumble has not been kind to tag teams as partners sometimes eliminate each other in the search for the ultimate glory.

Now, coming back to Austin Theory. Ever since Theory made his main roster debut, Vince McMahon has been head over heels for the former NXT superstars.

Currently, no one on the roster gets screen time with the boss other than Austin. Eventually, it looks like this year Rumble’s is the point where the young athlete’s career might catapult to the next level.

The WWE Universe will witness a dream match at the WWE Royal Rumble

The Rumble will take place on January 29. However, there is one dream match which the fans have been wanting for years – ‘The Almighty‘ vs ‘The Beast’.

Recently, WWE had to change plans on the fly at the WWE Day 1 PPV because Roman Reigns was tested positive for COVID-19.

Now, with Paul Heyman back on his side, the drama between Roman and Lesnar might extend. But there is no timeline for his return.

This will be Lesnar’s third match since his return at the SummerSlam ’21 PPV. This means, ‘The Beast’ will have only five matches left after his Rumble bout with Lashley.

But the good thing about the Royal Rumble PPV is that it is known for its unexpected comebacks.

Maybe, Roman Reigns will come back to challenge ‘The Beast’, maybe another superstar can come back to get his hand on Lesnar’s title. It is all so intriguing.
