Austin Theory finally betrays Grayson Waller on WWE RAW

Grayson Waller competed in a match on WWE RAW tonight, and Austin Theory finally betrayed him.

Austin Theory and Grayson Waller have been a pretty successful tag team ever since they first came together. They even captured the WWE Tag Team Championship. However, in recent months, things have not gone well for A-Town Down Under. It's been clear that Waller has been using Theory as a scapegoat in the name of friendship.

This was evident when Grayson Waller was supposed to face Sheamus on the May 5 episode of RAW, but he pawned it off onto Theory without telling him who his opponent was. As a result, Sheamus was able to pick up an easy win. However, tonight, Waller had to face the Celtic Warrior in a singles match.

During the match, tensions started brewing between Grayson Waller and Austin Theory as the former asked the latter to take notes while dominating in a portion of the contest. The two delivered a highly competitive match. However, after realizing he couldn't put away the Celtic Warrior, Waller tried to flee, but Theory stopped him and tried to convince his partner to get back into the ring.

This allowed Sheamus to hit him with the Ten Beats of the Bodhran and the Brogue kick for the win. To add insult to injury, Theory was laughing slyly as his tag partner was getting beaten up by the Celtic Warrior. He couldn't stop laughing even after the match ended.

For months, Waller put Theory in harm's way while he escaped unscathed on numerous occasions. While heel teams resort to underhanded tactics to pick up wins in matches, Mr A-Town refused to help the Aussie on this occasion. As a matter of fact, it was the former United States Champion's turn to return some of the favor as he prevented Waller from escaping the fight. The latter finally got a taste of his own medicine as Theory seemed content with his actions, confirming the latter's betrayal of his tag team partner.

While A-Town Down Under is still together, one can't help but believe that their days as a tag team are numbered.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
