If you ask "The World's Strongest Man," there is a method to the madness behind the decision to have Theory defeat Finn Balor to capture the WWE United States Championship.
Mark Henry explained why he understood the move made by WWE to have Theory defeat Balor for the U.S. title on last week's edition of Monday Night Raw.
With Theory, formerly known as Austin Theory until WWE pulled their latest round of Superstars having their first names dropped, being a clear-cut snobbish-style heel character, the aforementioned AEW performer and WWE Hall of Fame legend explained why the U.S. title change made perfect sense to him from a WWE-style booking standpoint.
Featured below are some of the highlights of Mark Henry on Busted Open Radio on Sirius XM where he shared his thoughts on this topic, explaining why he feels WWE knows exactly what they're doing with Theory and it makes sense, particularly because Finn Balor hasn't exactly been protected from a booking standpoint since returning to television.
"You know what, you’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelet. I think they’re intentionally trying to piss you off, putting the edge on Theory. It is what it is, I didn’t look negatively at it at all. You’ve got to let him piss you off, because that’s how we’ve seen it.
