After Austin Theory, WWE has another mystery attacker in store - Here's why!

On the latest episode of WWE RAW, it was revealed that the mystery man who has been assisting The Vision was none other than Austin Theory. While he was rumored to be the man behind the mask, it seemed rather random to unveil his identity like this, as many expected it to happen during Bron Breakker's match for the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk on January 5, 2026.

Theory's reveal didn't feel like a big deal, as he simply walked up in the crowd and removed his mask. Many believed the mystery attacker would play a key role in Breakker's world title match against Punk before revealing his identity, potentially helping The Dog of WWE win the match. However, with Theory already confirmed to be the man behind the mask, fans now expect The Best in the World to retain his title next month.

This could be by design, as the Triple H-led creative team may have a massive surprise up its sleeve. What if Theory's reveal was intentionally underwhelming because another mystery attacker is lurking in the shadows, who could strike during the World Heavyweight Championship match next month?

Having the 28-year-old reveal himself weeks before Bron Breakker vs. CM Punk could prevent fans from anticipating what's in store for January 5, 2026. In storyline, it could be a master plan by Paul Heyman to catch The Second City Saint off guard during his title defense against Breakker.

Last week on RAW, when the hooded figure emerged to attack Rey Mysterio and LA Knight, fans noticed that he looked and moved differently from the individual who took out CM Punk during the Men's WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series. This sparked speculation that there might be more than one mystery attacker, with Montez Ford being rumored as the second man.

If this is true, then it explains why Austin Theory gave away his identity this week. That said, this is just speculation for now, and nothing has been confirmed.

The Vision could take over WWE

With Austin Theory's addition and Bron Breakker as the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, The Vision looks unstoppable. If Paul Heyman has a plan in motion to reveal another mystery attacker, the world title could once again be in the heel factor's possession next month.

Since Theory has been revealed as the masked man from Survivor Series: WarGames, CM Punk may think he knows what to anticipate during his title defense against Breakker. However, if another mystery attacker appears at Barclays Center next month, it could lead to The Second City Saint losing the World Heavyweight Title against The Dog of WWE.

That said, nothing has been confirmed as of now. It will be interesting to see how this storyline develops in the coming weeks.
