Overview
- During Raw in Hershey, the hooded figure hit a Stomp on Rey Mysterio to help Logan Paul win, then unmasked in the crowd as Austin Theory and debuted a shaved-head look.
- WWE confirmed the reveal on air and via social media, marking Theory’s first appearance since a July absence following an announced injury.
- Paul Heyman denied knowing the attacker’s identity when pressed by Raw general manager Adam Pearce earlier in the broadcast.
- CM Punk pursued the assailant after the interference, and Bron Breakker speared Punk moments later as the build continued toward their Jan. 5 World Heavyweight Championship match.
- The masked run-ins began at Survivor Series: WarGames, where the attacker used Seth Rollins’ Stomp and aided The Vision, a thread that helped set up Breakker’s title opportunity against Punk.
