Austin Theory has built up a gimmick by clicking selfies with his fellow WWE stars. Whether it’s after a brutal assault or a win over his opponent, he ensures that he clicks a selfie on his mobile phone. This time around he snapped a picture with WWE Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus, who recently hosted a WWE Live Event on Saturday night at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium in Kitchener, ON, CA.
The current WWE RAW star took to his Twitter account and posted that picture with caption:
“Look who got to take a selfie with Austin Theory #ATownDown #allday #wwe”

Speaking about Theory, he has received a major push having been featured on multiple backstage segments with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. The Vince McMahon protege recently recalled his time in NXT and the advice he received from WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, who helped him understand some of the intricacies of performing in a WWE ring:
“We’d go back and watch matches, and I remember something specifically he said when I first got there, when I was 22,” Theory recalled in an interview with TalkSPORT. “This was the most confusing thing but I’m glad I figured it out.
“He told me, ‘Hey, when you go out there,’ he was like, ‘Are you having fun?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m having fun.’ And he said, ‘You know, like hearing the people and everything?’ And I was like, I don’t know if I hear the people and everything because I’m so focused on what I’m trying to do in the ring.
“He said, ‘You’ve got to find who you are and be yourself,’ but at 22, I didn’t know who I was. So I’m like, ‘Wait, what? What do you mean?’ I would think about that a lot. I was still doing the same thing but I was trying to figure out his advice. Be yourself? Then I realized it was about letting a little loose. Have fun. Everybody knows being outside of the ring and being able to do promos and backstages, that’s what makes the character.
“That’s what gets people invested. It would be like watching a movie and it’s just action the whole time, you’re not going to relate to anybody. That little piece of funny advice he gave me at the time went a long way. But I tried to figure it out because I was like, Shawn Michaels isn’t just going to say this to me.”
Austin Theory is currently involved in a feud with WWE SmackDown commentator and former NFL star, Pat McAfee. They are set to collide at WrestleMania 38 which will take place on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
