Johnny Gargano may have left NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day with the North American Championship, but he also left without Austin Theory.

Unseen by Gargano and the rest of The Way, the enigmatic Dexter Lumis appeared to swipe Theory away as Gargano headed to the entranceway for his bout against Kushida.

PS: Has anyone seen this man? He gets lost easily. We are all very concerned.. pic.twitter.com/LhwKZr73A1

This photo was taken during a photo shoot before Johnny’s match last night, moments before Austin went missing. I regret fighting with him during the shoot. I wish I could take it back, because now we don’t know if we’ll ever see him again. pic.twitter.com/Z048bTmbRw

Can Johnny Wrestling crack the case on his missing protégé’s whereabouts, or is Theory doomed to suffer whatever fate Lumis might have in store?
