Under Triple H's creative leadership, WWE finally revealed Austin Theory as the mystery attacker. On RAW after Saturday Night's Main Event XLII, the hooded personality appeared again and assisted Logan Paul against Rey Mysterio in the main event match.

When CM Punk arrived to rescue The Master of the 619, the mystery attacker ran away. In the middle of the crowd, he removed his mask and revealed himself as Theory. However, it seems like Triple H has already made a major mistake by booking the former United States Champion as the mystery guy.


Triple H stretched the storyline

The mystery attacker first appeared at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 when he attacked CM Punk and helped Team Vision to secure the victory. On the same day, many fans predicted that Austin Theory was behind the mask.

The reason behind this speculation was previous reports, which suggested that Theory was supposed to be part of Team Vision for the Men's WarGames Match. However, Theory didn't join the squad and wasn't seen on TV. Despite all the signs pointing towards the ex-United States Champion being the attacker, Triple H and Co. stretched the storyline for weeks.

Ultimately, when Austin Theory was revealed as the assailant, nobody seemed surprised.


Theory should have been revealed as the mystery attacker at Survivor Series

Instead of revealing Theory as the mystery assailant without a twist, Triple H should have revealed the attacker's identity at Survivor Series: WarGames. The double cage match was a star-studded affair, featuring top guys like Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, among others.

If The King of the Kings revealed Austin Theory as the mystery attacker on the same day, it might have generated more buzz and created hype around the former tag team champion.


No reaction from the crowd on WWE RAW

On RAW after SNME, when the young star uncovered his face, the live crowd did not give a loud reaction. This was not a good sign for the future of Austin Theory as a heel.

Usually, mystery attacker storylines capture the WWE Universe's interest. However, this doesn't appear to be the case with the Theory angle. Many predicted the assailant's identity way before it was officially revealed by the Triple H-led company.

The lackluster reveal can now impact the way fans will perceive the new version of Theory. Only time will tell what will happen in the coming weeks.
