The rivalry between Austin Theory, Bobby Lashley, and Seth Rollins was a prominent one last year on Raw. While the All-Mighty has completely separated his ways from the feud over the United States title, the two other competitors still seem to run the house show loops. However, a recent match made rounds on the Internet for a special post-match angle.

Last year, in the absence of a World Championship, the United States title emerged as the top prize on Raw. Rollins and Theory were part of this feud, main-eventing multiple episodes of Raw. On top of that, the 25-year-old became the first superstar to cash in his Money in the Bank contract for a mid-card title as well.

The Visionary recently had a bout with Austin Theory in a house show in Trenton, New Jersey, as part of the “Road to WrestleMania” live events. While there is no doubt that Theory would have retained his title in some cunning way, he still got his comeuppance after the match. In a video shared by a fan, the viewers can see Seth Rollins demanding Theory to kiss his boot and shake his hand in order to get out of the ring without getting a beating.

The United States Champion, lying on the ground, reluctantly kissed his rival’s shoes and shook his hands. However, in a true heel manner, Theory tried to attack Rollins afterward. The Monday Night Messiah was not the one to get tricked though, as he delivered a kick and a Curb Stomp in retaliation. You can check out the whole incident here.

As it stands, the Seth Rollins and Austin Theory are not building up any rivalry on WWE TV. In fact, the last televised match between the two was on Raw’s first episode of 2023. Fans can safely assume that the two are just continuing their run of matches over at house shows because both of them have a match with part-timers on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Seth Rollins is building up a feud with Logan Paul ever since Royal Rumble. On the other hand, it seems like Austin Theory is most certainly facing John Cena at WrestleMania. Logan Paul and John Cena are both special attractions now, only appearing for Big PPVs. And this is why they have been summoned for matches at the Show of Shows in Hollywood. Both these feuds will enter their next stage in the latest episode of Raw as all four superstars will be present for their respective segments on Monday.
