EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory recently said he's ready for John Cena to pass the torch in his direction, but instead the young wrestler got a troll-like response.

Theory was interviewed in the latest EVOLVE recap video published on YouTube over the weekend and in it randomly said, "John Cena, I heard you're trying to pass the torch. Well, you know how to get in contact with me." 

Cena responded two days later via Instagram by posting a photo of Austin Theory with no caption.

As you may know, the "Bumblebee" star uses the social media app mostly for trolling -- so don't look too deep into things. Or maybe you should since WWE has a working relationship with EVOLVE?

We'll keep you posted if there are any further developments. 

FYI - Austin says he plans to be EVOLVE champ until the day he walks into TakeOver.
