#4. Austin Theory called out John Cena early in his career

Austin Theory has aimed high since the beginning of his WWE career. He got a championship match right away after appearing on NXT. But even before that, the superstar has been aiming high.

Austin Theory was the EVOLVE Champion for 329 days between 2018 and 2019. During that time, he called out WWE legend John Cena. He asked Cena to pass the torch in his direction. The promotion published a video on their YouTube channel where Theory said:

"John Cena, I heard you're trying to pass the torch. Well, you know how to get in contact with me."

Cena was quick to respond by posting Theory's photo without any caption. The young superstar has said that Cena was his biggest inspiration in wrestling as he tried to model his career following the WWE icon.
