Theory and Murphy could be a dominant tag team in the making
It has been less than a year since Austin Theory made his WWE debut and within a short period of time, the former Evolve Champion has competed in his first WrestleMania and has already shared the ring with the likes of Aleister Black, Akira Tozawa and Roderick Strong.

Speaking of WrestleMania 36, Theory walked in as a replacement for the injured Andrade at 'The Grandest Stage of Them All' and teamed up with Angel Garza, as the pairing unsuccessfully challenged The Street Profits for the RAW Tag Team Championships.
But, on a rather recent edition of RAW, Theory was kicked out of the faction after costing Andrade and Garza a tag team match against Apollo Crews and Kevin Owens. And, later on in the night, he would go on to assist Seth Rollins and Murphy in attacking Black and formally joining Rollins' faction instead.
With the exclusion of Rezar and Akam from Rollins' faction, Theory could turn out to be the perfect replacement that Rollins has been looking for, and now that 'The Messiah' finally has a new disciple, he could shift his focus back on the singles division with Murphy and Theory joining forces as the newest tag team on the red brand.
Of course, in the past, Rollins and Murphy did win the RAW Tag Team Titles but Theory would definitely be the ideal replacement for the former Universal Champion in RAW's tag team division.
