The true identity of the masked assailant who has been aiding Vision since the Survivor Series: WarGames event in late November was officially unveiled on Monday’s WWE Raw. The attacker was revealed to be Austin Theory, who appeared in the audience after supporting Logan Paul in the main event against Rey Mysterio.
Ever since the November 29th Premium Live event, fans have been curious about the masked figure who used a stomp on the injured Seth Rollins. Wearing a mask, Theory delivered another stomp to Mysterio on the ring apron while Paul Heyman distracted the referee. Logan Paul managed to secure a win over the WWE Hall of Famer, and Theory narrowly escaped the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk by vaulting over the ring barricade. CM Punk then chased Theory into the crowd with a chair before removing Theory’s mask, revealing his newly shaved head.
Throughout the night, Heyman, often the tactician behind such schemes, insisted to Paul, Bron Breaker, Bronson Reed, and “Raw” general manager Adam Pearce that he had no idea who the masked assailant was. Backstage, he reiterated to Paul that he didn’t know who the culprit was but promised to collaborate with him against Punk, Mysterio, and LA Knight — the latter whom The Vision had “indefinitely” taken out. There were rumors about Theory joining the stable before the WarGames match last week, but speculation peaked when fans recognized his build during the interference at Survivor Series.
Fan Take: This revelation injects fresh intrigue into WWE storylines by officially linking Austin Theory to the Vision’s faction, setting the stage for high-stakes rivalries. For fans, it amplifies anticipation for future clashes and elevates Theory’s status as a key player in WWE’s evolving landscape.
