Austin Theory Accuses Rey Mysterio of Cheating After WWE RAW Win, Brings Dominik Into the Firestorm
Rey Mysterio walked out of this week’s WWE RAW with his hand raised, but the victory has sparked serious controversy backstage and online.
Following RAW from Belfast, Austin Theory publicly accused the WWE Hall of Famer of cheating to secure the win, turning what looked like a routine trios match into a heated talking point among fans.
Rey Mysterio has been locked in an ongoing rivalry with The Vision, particularly Theory, over the past few weeks. On RAW, the feud escalated when Rey teamed up with LWO allies Dragon Lee and Penta to take on Theory, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul.
The match-ending moment is what set Theory off. During the chaos, Rey Mysterio used Logan Paul’s brass knuckles to knock Theory down. With Theory stunned, Penta capitalized and delivered a Mexican Destroyer to score the pinfall victory.
Hours after RAW went off the air, Theory took to X and shared images appearing to show Rey using the brass knuckles. He didn’t hold back in his response, calling the legendary luchador a “deadbeat cheater” and even dragging Rey’s son Dominik Mysterio into the situation, suggesting Dominik knows all about his father’s “cheap tactics.”
The accusation has quickly caught attention, especially given Rey Mysterio’s iconic reputation as one of WWE’s most respected veterans.
Is a Rey Mysterio vs Austin Theory Rematch Coming?
Based on how RAW unfolded, this rivalry appears far from over. Theory’s explosive reaction suggests he’s not done chasing Rey, and WWE could easily turn this controversy into a high-stakes rematch.
Since joining The Vision, Austin Theory has been surrounded by major hype. For WWE, establishing him as a serious threat means putting him in big matches—and possibly big wins. Defeating a legend like Rey Mysterio would instantly elevate Theory and reinforce his momentum moving forward.
For now, though, Theory and The Vision are left to regroup after a tough loss, while Rey Mysterio’s latest victory raises more questions than answers. Whether this turns into revenge, redemption, or another explosive showdown remains to be seen.
