Reported Backstage Reason Why WWE 'Passed On' Top Raw Superstar To Push Theory Instead

WWE Raw Superstar Theory has had a spectacular run on Monday Night Raw. Despite being only 24-years-old, Theory is already a former United States Champion and currently holds the Money In The Bank briefcase. But many fans feel that his push is forced, and someone like Riddle deserves it more.

While Speaking on Mat Men Wrestling podcast, Andrew Zarian revealed that he was asked why Riddle was passed on for an opportunity which Theory got. He was told that it is simply not former Raw Tag Team Champion Riddle's time right now.

''Someone said why did they pass on Riddle. I asked, and they said 'it's not his time, don't worry about Riddle, it's not his time',' said Zarian [26:50-27:00]

Andrew Zarian also further noted that the possible reason for backlash over the Theory's push is because it feels forced. He stated that he feels the young star will have a run similar to The Viper Randy Orton in the company and also drew parallels between the young superstar and John Cena.
