John Cena and Austin Theory (via WWE)
The pro wrestling world has seen the birth of legends and icons who changed the landscape of this industry. WWE has heavily relied on the same formula, recreating history from the past. John Cena is WWE’s last megastar in the modern era. He carried the company on his shoulders for a long time. However, decades later, WWE is on the verge of creating the next John Cena in the form of Austin Theory.
John Cena is one of the biggest names in sports entertainment. He has been the face of the company for two decades. However, the company has failed to create another megastar in the industry ever since Cena left. But years later, it seems like WWE has found a potential star in the form of Austin Theory, who could carry on the legacy. As there’s a saying by Pablo Picasso, “Good artists copy! Great artists steal!” Austin Theory is stealing from one of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. WWE is replicating Cena and creating a new star who could fill his shoes.
Austin Theory conjures up images of a young John Cena in the minds of WWE Universe. They see many similarities between the two. The Cenation leader has been the face of WWE for a long time. It’s past time for him to pass the torch to someone else. Moreover, Cena’s becoming a part-timer has left a void in the company. Therefore, WWE believes Theory could be the right guy to fill that void and become the next face of the company.
Many wrestling fans across the world have grown up idolizing Cena. The fans are emotionally connected to him and believe that no one can ever fill his shoes. However, the passing of legacies is inevitable in every aspect of life. Therefore, the company needs a star to carry on that legacy. WWE is doing the same, looking to develop Austin Theory into the next John Cena.
Connection between John Cena and Austin Theory
Austin Theory revealed during an interview that his first connection to wrestling was John Cena. He added that the “Never Give Up” phrase motivated him as a child while growing up. Because John Cena has such a major impact on Theory’s life, the connection between the two feels so authentic. Furthermore, Theory suggests that when someone inspires you to feel this strongly about something, you have a strong desire to carry on their legacy.
The WWE Universe sees parallels and similarities and believes Theory has the potential to be the face of this industry. He has both passion and authenticity, which are needed to succeed. Moreover, Theory is following in the footsteps of Cena. And perhaps the company has found its next megastar. If WWE harnesses the full potential of Theory, the fans might witness the rise of the next big star in the company in the form of Austin Theory.
