During the Men's WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series, a hooded figure interfered and hit CM Punk with a superkick, followed by a Curb Stomp. This allowed Bron Breakker to capitalize with a Spear, securing the win for Team Vision.

Since the San Diego event, fans have been speculating on who the mystery attacker could be. Many thought that the attacker's identity would be revealed on RAW, but it didn't materialize. Interestingly, WWE has shared a list of potential suspects as well.

The global juggernaut has speculated eight stars who could be behind the hooded getup last weekend. You can check out the full list here.

That said, this could be a deliberate attempt by the Triple H-led creative team to prevent fans from anticipating anyone from outside their list. Let's look at four superstars who could be the mystery attacker from Survivor Series, but didn't make it on WWE's list:


#4. Jake Paul

Logan Paul's brother, Jake Paul, is a well-known figure in the world of boxing and entertainment. The Problem Child has appeared in the Stamford-based promotion before, coming to his brother's aid during his match against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022.

With The Maverick being part of Team Vision and Reigns on the opposite side, Jake could have been the one who cost the babyface team at Survivor Series. This could be an interesting way to introduce the boxing sensation to WWE.


#3. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has been out of action since April due to a serious neck injury. Before his hiatus, Owens was one of the top heels in the company.

While the chances of The Prizefighter being the mystery attacker are slim due to the uncertainty around his return, it can't be completely ruled out. If Owens is medically cleared to compete, this could be a perfect setup to reintroduce him into the mix.


#2. Andrew Schulz

Since Monday Night RAW moved to Netflix, Andrew Schulz has made multiple appearances on the show. A recent report by TC of Wrestlevotes suggests that the comedian has made a strong impression in the Stamford-based promotion, and fans can expect more appearances from him in the future.

If he is set to participate in in-ring competition, revealing him to be the mystery attacker from Survivor Series would be an effective way to introduce him. Schulz is a controversial personality and will likely be a great villain in the global juggernaut if he becomes a regular.


#1. Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho

Speculations about Chris Jericho returning to WWE have been going rampant for months now. Y2J has dropped several hints that he could be on his way back to the Stamford-based promotion.

His contract with AEW is likely to expire soon, and if he's returning to the global juggernaut, he could be revealed as the man who took out CM Punk at Survivor Series: WarGames. The creative team may have kept the attacker's identity under wraps, as it could be waiting for Jericho to sign with the company.
