WrestleMania 39, night 1, here we are! In a stadium still a little sleepy, it was Austin Theory who opened the evening by challenging his title of United States champion once morest John Cena. Involved in the association Make a Wish for many years, Cena entered the scene hand in hand with sick children before beginning a long sprint to the ring.
This was so nice to see ❤️

Introductions made, let’s get to the game. One thing is sure, Theory did not lack bite. The defending champion literally gnawed off Cena’s ear before biting him a second time to break an STF.

A vampire gimmick that will only work momentarily. The 16x world champion will eventually regain the ascendancy over Theory until he wears a devastating STF that no bite will succeed in stopping, Theory taps…except the referee was knocked out without Cena noticing.
Theory takes advantage of the imbroglio to place a devastating Low Blow on Cena and continues with his ATL. The referee comes to his senses. 1,2,3. Austin Theory is still champion!
