WWE United States Champion Takes a Leap of Faith on His Special Day
Austin Theory, the reigning WWE United States Champion, decided to celebrate his 26th birthday in a unique and adrenaline-filled way – by going skydiving. The wrestling star, who is not currently booked for SummerSlam, took advantage of his time off to experience this thrilling adventure.
The news came to light when Theory shared his skydiving experience on Instagram. He posted a couple of photos and a video of his daring leap, captioning it, “Turned 26 and became a skydiver.” The post shows a visibly excited Theory enjoying his birthday in a rather unconventional way.
In the wrestling ring, Theory is set to face Santos Escobar in two weeks on RAW. This match is a result of a United States title tournament that included some of the top stars on the blue brand. With this skydiving adventure, Theory adds another feather to his cap as he prepares for his next title match.
While WWE has been known to frown upon its superstars taking personal risks, it’s unclear whether Theory sought permission for his skydiving adventure or decided to ask for forgiveness later if any issues arose. Regardless, fans and fellow wrestlers will undoubtedly be talking about this unique birthday celebration for some time.
