Austin Theory def. Akira Tozawa
You could make the argument that Austin Theory didn’t lose anything by coming up short at WrestleMania — by being entered into his match at the last minute, the appearance was a win in and of itself. Clearly, Theory isn’t buying that … well, theory. All Day put on an impressive performance against Akira Tozawa with Zelina Vega in tow in what was both a validation of La Muñeca’s patronage and, crucially, a taste of things to come.
Of course, Zelina has never lacked for confidence in her stable, but Theory certainly performed as advertised. The five-tool prodigy outdid Tozawa in the early goings and rallied from a furious sprint by the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion to win the match with the ATL, much to the delight of fellow clients Andrade and Angel Garza, who joined Theory for a post-match beatdown of The Stamina Monster — to say nothing of the delight of the woman who brought them together.
