Austin Theory has hinted that there might be possible problems within The Vision. On WWE RAW, he refused to take orders from Bronson Reed.
Theory was revealed as the masked man who had been helping The Vision for weeks. At Survivor Series, he attacked CM Punk after climbing into the WarGames cage. He also attacked Rey Mysterio and LA Knight, helping Logan Paul beat them in singles matches.
On RAW, Reed asked Austin Theory to follow his lead for their tag team match. However, the former United States Champion refused and told Reed to do the same instead.

The above interaction indicates that Theory is seemingly not on the same page with members of The Vision. He is not willing to take orders from anyone.
Jim Cornette once thought that Austin Theory wasn’t being pushed under Triple H’s regime in WWE
Austin Theory was heavily pushed under Vince McMahon’s creative leadership. He won the Money in the Bank briefcase and got involved in Roman Reigns’ title defense against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle 2022.
Since Triple H took over WWE, Theory hasn’t exactly been utilized as a singles star and was part of a tag team with Grayson Waller. The duo did capture the WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XL before Waller aligned with The New Day.
Speaking in a past episode of Drive-Thru, Jim Cornette had this to say about Theory:
“The reason I watched RAW was because I heard about one match on it. I know what’s gonna happen, but I gotta see it because I’m interested in it (…) My boy Austin Theory, the best young prospect. I won’t swell, I won’t say now the best young prospect, he’s one of the best in-ring talents. He’s the only guy that has come out worse since Vince has been gone.”
Theory has definitely found his footing under Triple H, now that he’s associated with a top faction in WWE.
