In a very recent episode of WWE RAW, Grayson Waller floated some heavy bombs: A-Town Down Under is busted, and his partnership with the injured Austin Theory has come to an end through a silent separation of the rising faction.
This was a shock to fans because the split of the pair did not follow a proper WWE farewell.
Removal of Theory in Roster
After this news went on air, PWInsider.com stated that Austin Theory will be absent from the WWE internal roster. Naturally, this gave fans the impression that the former US Champion has been outright released or taken off the roster indefinitely by the company. The report raised concern among fans as Theory has faced some setbacks and has been off the main storylines.
However, other media sources clarified that multiple WWE insiders have confirmed Theory is still on the active roster. He is performing because of an injury. Now he is on a list of other injured superstars like Zoey Stark and Ilja Dragunov.
This shows that the injury announced on RAW was a real reason to take Theory off TV while he recovers.
Final Match and Disbanding of the Faction silently
Theory has not been seen on TV since his last televised match, which was a loss to the El Grande Americano in last month’s tapings of WWE Main Event. On Raw, the team was quietly split up in a backstage segment. There, Grayson Waller mentioned to The New Day that they had broken up, without any big drama.
Although A-Town Down Under is history, the future of Austin Theory in WWE is not even close to being done. The former Mr. Money in the Bank has many years ahead of him. His comeback or re-packaging in 2026 could fire up his stagnant career. As of now, fans will have to wait for updates on his recovery, so, don’t count him out just yet.
