Triple H pushing RAW Superstar as a ' major project' to become a top guy for a long time - Reports

Triple H is being praised by fans and critics ever since he took over as the creative head of WWE. While some of the stars he has tried to push have fallen flat, there are others who have taken the ball and are rolling with it. One such name is the US Champion Austin Theory.

Despite failing his MITB Cash-in, Theory got a new lease on life as he dropped his 'selfie' gimmick and adopted a more serious and ruthless persona. He went on to win the United States Championship and recently won a six-man Elimination Chamber match to retain his Championship.

As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Austin Theory is seen as a 'major project' for a big push in WWE. That is one of the reasons why he will be facing the legendary John Cena at WrestleMania Hollywood this year.

''Austin Theory vs. John Cena for the U.S. title. Theory is clearly a major project to be a top guy for a long time.''
