On Monday night, the mystery surrounding the masked man aiding Vision was finally unveiled. During the main event between Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul, the Hit and Run Artist reappeared, retreating into the crowd before removing his mask.
The enigmatic figure first showed up at Survivor Series, assisting Bron Breaker in defeating CM Punk inside a cage at War Games. He then returned on Raw the following Monday to support Logan Paul in his feud against Rey Mysterio. Although it was clear he was aligned with The Vision, fans speculated about his identity, with theories ranging from Montez Ford to Austin Theory.
The mask belonged to Austin Theory.
In the main event, Paul Heyman tried to help Logan Paul by hitting Mysterio with brass knuckles, but the attack missed. This allowed Mysterio to counter with a dropkick and execute the 619 before grabbing the knuckles. The Masked Man then delivered a curb stomp to Mysterio before Logan Paul sealed the victory with a Frog Splash.
CM Punk entered the ring with a chair to aid Rey, but the masked attacker escaped into the audience. Once safely positioned on the stairs, the man removed his mask, revealing Austin Theory. Punk watched from the corner as Bron Breaker prepared and then struck him with a spear, allowing Breaker to retain his title against the world champion.
As for Theory’s status with The Vision, it remains unclear if he is officially part of the group. No one involved seemed surprised by the reveal, but confirmation is likely to come next week. Theory, who has been absent from WWE programming for some time, last appeared teaming with Grayson Waller, who now works with The New Day. Fans speculated that Theory’s return would thrust him into a more significant storyline, which now seems confirmed. Given his history with Paul Heyman during Heyman’s time as Raw’s creative director, it appears Heyman deliberately chose Theory to align with stars like Breaker and Bronson Reed.
Fan Take: This revelation marks a huge turning point for WWE fans, adding a new thrill to the ongoing storylines with Austin Theory’s unexpected alliance. It signals a potential shake-up in power dynamics and promises exciting developments in the weeks to come, keeping viewers eagerly anticipating what’s next for The Vision and their challengers.
