In recent weeks, the United States Championship has been the focal point of a fiery feud between Seth Rollins and Austin Theory. These two warriors have been going at each other’s throats since the beginning, and neither shows signs of backing down.
At a recent WWE live event in Champaign, IL, Rollins once again squared off against his nemesis, Austin Theory, in a heated bout for the coveted US Title. However, one particular moment from the match has been making waves on social media.
Rollins and Theory are battling on the floor outside the ring in a viral clip. Rollins then seizes Theory’s arms and calls upon a young fan in the audience to deliver a punch to the reigning champion. The kid obliges, landing a light jab which Theory sells like a pro as Rollins rejoices with the young fan.
Despite the aid of his young admirer, Seth Rollins was ultimately unable to dethrone Austin Theory and claim the United States Championship. This was Rollins’ first encounter with Theory since their bout at WWE Elimination Chamber, which Theory emerged victorious from.
This fan interaction is a hallmark of Rollins’ superstar status in the WWE. Although he hasn’t racked up as many titles as he did in his earlier days, Rollins remains a fan favorite, especially among the younger members of the WWE Universe.
