Austin Theory won WWE Money in the Bank in July despite not being announced for the event beforehand and has been holding the briefcase since since. Fans have been wondering how WWE will handle Theory as the owner of the briefcase. Theory made a surprise cameo on NXT TV last week, teasing cashing up his briefcase on NXT Champion Bron Breakker. However, Theory was unable to be seen when Breakker successfully defended his championship at Halloween Havoc last Saturday.
According to WrestleVotes, a never-before-seen-before plan for Theory has been explored and is “on the table,” which would be for him to be the first man to hold the briefcase for a year. “There is an idea that he is the first guy to wait a full year, like the day of or, let’s say, the night of Money in the Bank next year. That’s the storyline, like ‘you have to cash this in two and a half hours. You have to cash this in 90 minutes.’ That type of thing. I know that idea is on the table.” If he failed his cash-in, WrestleVotes did not specify if WWE would have him become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at that point.
