Austin Theory has hinted at potentially betraying his tag team partner Grayson Waller following John Cena’s villainous turn at Elimination Chamber: Toronto. The 27-year-old superstar shared a telling social media post that has sparked speculation among fans.
The post on X featured a photo of Cena embracing Cody Rhodes moments before his shocking betrayal. Theory captioned the image with Jey Uso’s signature catchphrase “Yeet,” a reference that holds particular significance given recent tensions with Waller.
Theory and Cena share significant history in WWE. The former United States Champion has repeatedly cited Cena as a major influence on his career. Their in-ring rivalry culminated at WrestleMania 39, where Theory successfully defended his championship against the 16-time world champion.
Recent weeks have revealed growing friction between Theory and Waller. During a backstage segment on RAW, Theory participated in Jey Uso’s signature “Yeet” celebration, which provoked an aggressive response from Waller. The Australian superstar was subsequently attacked by Uso while Theory merely observed without intervening.
Many fans interpret Theory’s social media activity as foreshadowing a potential betrayal similar to Cena’s actions at Elimination Chamber: Toronto, where the long-time fan favorite shocked the wrestling world by turning against Rhodes.
