Paul Heyman might soon pull off another shocking twist on Monday Night RAW. This week's episode of the red brand ended with Austin Theory being finally uncovered as the mystery attacker from this year's Men's War Games Match.

While fans are still processing the shocking reveal, Heyman might also disclose an NXT star as the second hooded assailant, who seemingly appeared on RAW last week and had different mannerisms from the one at Survivor Series. During the main event of this week's edition, a mystery man appeared and, as usual, attacked Rey Mysterio. This distraction enabled Logan Paul to pin the WWE Hall of Famer and pick up the victory. The hooded figure finally removed his mask and showed himself to be Austin Theory.

That said, fans are still convinced that there is a second mystery attacker whose identity is yet to be revealed. With this in mind, in a shocking twist, Paul Heyman could disclose the identity of the secong hooded figure as Ricky Saints. He is one of the top talents in WWE's developmental brand and previously held the NXT Championship before dropping it back to Oba Femi at Deadline.

The 35-year-old star shockingly embraced a heel turn three days after the title loss, costing Je'Von Evans in his NXT Championship match against Femi on the black and silver brand. Considering Paul Heyman's influential role in the Stamford-based promotion, it is possible that he might use his power to move Saints up to the main roster, where he could join The Vision on RAW. In this context, revealing the star as the second mystery attacker could be his ideal way to accomplish this goal.

Rick Saints has made a name for himself in NXT. Therefore, Heyman and his heels could benefit from working with him on the main roster. However, it must be noted that this angle is purely speculative, and nothing has been confirmed. It will be interesting to see if there is indeed a second mystery attacker.


Adam Pearce could suspend Paul Heyman

Adam Pearce could suspend Paul Heyman as a repercussion. The Oracle seems to be the mastermind behind the recent pattern of the mystery attacks disrupting matches and helping The Vision secure victories.

Furthermore, CM Punk is set to lock horns with Bron Breakker on January 5, 2026, for the World Heavyweight Championship, and there is a great possibility that Heyman could orchestrate a decisive interference during the upcoming bout.

So, to make sure Paul Heyman doesn't pull any strings and affect the title match next month, the RAW General Manager could decide to suspend him. However, this is also a speculation for now, and all will be known in the next few weeks.
