Jeff Hardy lost to Austin Theory this week on RAW, and fans aren’t happy at all. The former member of The Way trended on social media, but fans weren’t really talking about him.
Many fans were talking about Austin Theory for different reasons. He was mentioned in tweets about Jeff Hardy’s losing record on WWE television. One fan tweeted to drop a pretty interesting statistic, “FYI: Over the last 3 months in one on one matches, Jeff Hardy is 6-5. The losses were to Karrion Kross, Damian Priest, and Austin Theory (aka helping the future of WWE). His wins were against Karrion Kross (yes that win), Sheamus, Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin.”
Some people really liked seeing Hardy and Theory working in the ring. “If Jeff Hardy wasn’t going to SmackDown it would be him and Austin Theory one on one the next six weeks,” another fan said.
The fact that Austin Theory snuck up and snapped a selfie with Big E was not lost on anyone either. In fact, it could mean that Theory is on his way to a main event level sooner than later.
You can check out a variety of tweets below all talking about Austin Theory for their own reasons. His name still trended and WWE sees that statistic as well.
