Truth about claims Jon Moxley (fka Dean Ambrose) is CM Punk's mystery attacker; WWE return speculation - Reports

WWE left fans second-guessing which wrestler dressed in all black to attack CM Punk during the Men's Survivor Series: WarGames Match.

Jon Moxley's name has since been thrown around, but the ongoing wave of speculation has now been put to rest once and for all.

WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 ended with Team Vision beating Team CM Punk with help from a mystery assailant.

The man in disguise took out The Best in the World with a Curb Stomp, leaving the WWE Universe wondering whether Seth Rollins was back.

But Wade Barrett quashed any speculation, saying that The Visionary recently underwent shoulder surgery and wouldn't be medically cleared to return to action.

Since then, fans have continued to speculate on the identity of the masked man. A Facebook post claimed that Jon Moxley could be the individual since he uses Curb Stomp in AEW.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful debunked those rumors and reiterated that the Purveyor of Violence is with AEW until 2027.

Who is the mystery attacker in WWE?

The man under the mask has since been identified as Austin Theory.

The Unproven One suddenly disappeared from television this summer after WWE disbanded The A-Town Down Under.

He was rumored to join The Vision and partake in the Men's WarGames Match this year before Seth Rollins' injury forced the creative to pivot away from the original plans.

Assuming Theory was the mysterious individual, it wouldn't be far-fetched to say he would be aligning himself with Paul Heyman's group.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio said that the 28-year-old star is in line for a big push.

"Well, I mean, the deal is that number one, they want to establish the guy, you know, when he is unmasked. I'm sure he's going to get in the Vision because that was always the plan. You know, it's Austin Theory. They need to... originally he was going to be in the match, but they introduce him and have him do something significant, or else, 'it's Austin Theory, you know what I mean. What's he doing in the main event group?' That was the key to make you think, they want to bring him in with a little bit of shine, so that was what that was all about."

If that's the case, CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship reign could be in serious jeopardy.

Fans must tune in on RAW tonight to find out how the storyline unfolds heading into Saturday Night's Main Event.
