Report: Ex-champion identified as mystery man at WWE Survivor Series

Multiple reports have now emerged on the identity of the mysterious figure at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025.

The final moments of the men’s WarGames match saw a mysterious hooded figure interfere. The unidentified man went onto superkick and stomp CM Punk, allowing Bron Breakker to spear Punk and secure the victory. Now, multiple reports have emerged confirming the identity of the mysterious man.

According to PWInsider, Austin Theory was the one in the black outfit who got involved in the main event. Even before the segment happened, PWInsider had noted that Theory was present backstage, and the plan was to get him involved in a disguise.

Shortly after the match finished, Fightful Select published a similar report. Fightful Select noted that WWE sources close to them claimed that the masked figure tonight was Austin Theory.

During the Survivor Series post-show, Paul Heyman was asked to reveal the identity of the attacker, but Heyman refused to answer the question on multiple occasions. Despite numerous reports circulating, WWE has yet to officially acknowledge the situation.

Austin Theory, a former United States Champion, has been absent from WWE television for several months. Previously reported as dealing with an injury, Theory may now be on his way back. Also, before plans changed due to Seth Rollins’ injury, he was planned to be part of the WarGames team alongside Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Seth Rollins.
