In 2020, Theory was moved to the main roster and teamed up with Angel Garza and Andrade. They heavily featured the trio on RAW in tag team matches. At WrestleMania 36, Theory and Garza faced The Street Profits and lost. In May, Andrade and Garza kicked him out of the faction. Later that night, he allegedly joined Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy. By June, they sent Theory back to NXT.
After wrestling two matches in NXT, Theory returned to the brand in August. He quickly aligned himself with Johnny Gargano and helped him win the North American Championship at TakeOver WarGames. Austin Theory, Candice LeRae, Indie Hartwell, and Johnny Gargano created a stable called The Way.
In 2021, Gargano and Theory entered the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic but lost. Theory often assisted the remaining members in their matches. In July, Theory was abducted by Dexter Lumis during their storyline. At InDex Wedding, Theory returned and reunited with the family.

He defeated Finn Balor on 18 April episode of RAW to win the United States Championship.

On the 2022 SummerSlam, Theory tried to cash-in his MITB contract when the match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar was underway. He failed to cash-in his contract as Mr. MITB was ambushed by Lesnar, Reigns and the Usos, one by one. Theory recently confronted his former NXT friend Johnny Gargano, who made his return to the company after nine months.
Theory was renamed back to Austin Theory on the RAW before Clash at the Castle. At the event, he tried to cash in his MITB briefcase in the main event match between Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns. However, he was attacked by Tyson Fury before he could do so.
On the RAW after the event, Austin was intervened by Kevin Owens, who then made fun of Theory for getting knocked out by Tyson Fury. Later, Theory faced Kevin Owens in a hard-hitting match where he lost.
On the 7th November edition of RAW, Theory cashed in his MITB contract on Seth Rollins for the U.S. Championship after Bobby Lashley ambushed him.
