“Smack the Sh** Out of You”: WWE Superstar Threatens to Attack Journalist After He Calls Wrestling Fake

WWE stars have already started landing in Perth for the Elimination Chamber weekend. The stars who are set to perform at the Optus Stadium have been prioritized to land first. Austin Theory has also joined these stars in the Western Australia city. Although Theory isn’t set for any match cards for the coming night, he may be spotted alongside Grayson Waller.

Despite having an Australian friend in WWE, Theory faced some turbulence during his time in the ‘City of Light’. During an unpleasant run-in with a journalist, the WWE heel threatened him while the two were arguing.

WWE wrestler defends his sport

The former United States Champion was called for a meetup by the editor-in-chief for The West Australian. The media house most probably wanted to interview the heel wrestler on the occasion of his arrival in the capital city of Western Australia. But things didn’t go quite as planned.

A recorded video captured the moment when Theory was having an argument with Anthony De Cegile from The West Australian. The wrestler can be seen visibly upset at the chief editor calling wrestling ‘fake’. The fuming wrestler says, “Oh you’re saying what I do is easy and you’re in front of all your people in here talking about my job’s easy. You couldn’t walk a day in my shoes.” Theory further threatens De Cegile by saying, “I’ll smack the sh*t out of you right now. I’m not playing around. Bring me all the way here for some media, man. This guy’s talking his f***ing head off, man.”

While the chief editor tried to apologize for the comment and was seen justifying what he meant through his words, Austin Theory was not pleased with the treatment. By the end of the video, the WWE superstar walks away from the scene.

While his anger seems justified by the circumstances, Austin Theory isn’t the only WWE wrestler who faced problems after landing in Perth.

Another WWE star faced an unpleasant situation in Australia

Ever since she landed in Perth, Becky Lynch started experiencing connectivity issues. In an Instagram live, she revealed that she was supposed to be on air with Sony Sports Network at the moment but wasn’t able to connect with them. Then she also revealed her idea behind why this could be happening.

Unlike Austin Theory, who walked away from the scene, Lynch had a pretty specific person to blame for her technical turbulence.
