WWE Mysteriously Keeps Fans Guessing with Identity of Masked Man
In a bizarre and intriguing turn of events, a masked individual appeared on Monday's episode of WWE Raw, leaving fans baffled as to their true identity. Speculation ran rampant online, with some even suggesting that Montez Ford was behind the mask.
However, Wrestling Observer Live host Bryan Alvarez has come forward to set the record straight. "I can tell you right now, I don't know who the mystery man was on Monday," he revealed, "but I was told specifically it was not Montez Ford."
The enigmatic figure first made their presence known at Survivor Series: WarGames, helping Bron Breakker secure a victory for Paul Heyman's team by delivering a curb stomp to CM Punk. Since then, the masked man has been spotted on Raw, attacking Rey Mysterio and costing LA Knight his match against Logan Paul.
According to Alvarez, WWE may be employing a strategy of misdirection to conceal the character's true identity. "It appears at least two different people have been under the mystery man mask," he wrote. "This tactic aims to confuse fans attempting to identify the wrestler based on body type or mannerisms."
However, Dave Meltzer has provided further insight into the masked man's true identity. In an exclusive report, it was revealed that Austin Theory was behind the mask at Survivor Series, and not Jacob Fatu as some speculated.
Theory's involvement in the match was originally planned, but plans were changed due to Fatu's injury. The injury led to Cody Rhodes moving into the WarGames team, with McIntyre ultimately emerging as a more logical fit for the match.
On Monday's episode of Raw, Theory played a pivotal role, helping Logan Paul defeat LA Knight by smashing him into the announce table while the referee was distracted. The show ended with Bronson Reed delivering a brutal beatdown on Knight, culminating in a Tsunami splash from atop a car backstage.
It remains to be seen whether Theory will continue to wear the mask or if WWE will reveal their true identity soon. One thing is certain: the masked man's presence has added a layer of intrigue and complexity to Raw's storyline, keeping fans on the edge of their seats in anticipation of what's to come next.

... sounds like WWE is just trying to keep us guessing for attention 
. first, it was Montez Ford, then Austin Theory, now everyone's speculating... where's the proof? 
i mean, if they're gonna drop a bombshell, let's see some solid sources, not just Bryan Alvarez saying "i don't know" 
and Dave Meltzer spouting rumors. come on WWE, spill the tea 
.
meanwhile what about Montez Ford? is he 2? this whole thing just seems too cleverly planned lol 
WWE is like, totally trolling us rn with this masked guy 
I mean, Austin Theory was supposed 2 b behind the mask at Survivor Series but then some1 else showed up and now ppl think it's Montez Ford lol nope lol what's goin on?! 
i mean, who needs a clear story when you can just have everyone speculating about the identity of the mysterious man? 
. but seriously, if they're gonna keep us in suspense like this, let's get some answers already! 
I was thinking it was Montez Ford at first, but then Bryan Alvarez said it wasn't him... and now I don't know who to believe 
Can't wait to find out what happens next! 
I was thinking maybe it was montez ford for sure, but now it's just a big ol' mystery 
like, is it two people in the mask or one?! ugh my brain can't keep up 
! It's like they're playing us like pawns, trying to keep us guessing until the big reveal. I mean, Austin Theory was definitely behind that mask at Survivor Series, and now we have all these twists and turns with Montez Ford being out of it... what's going on? 
. I've been following all the clues online and I think Austin Theory is a solid suspect 
. One thing's for sure, this storyline has got me hooked! Can't wait to see what happens next 
. It sounds like they're tryin' to throw us off the scent with this misdirection thing, but honestly, I think it's just a bunch of hype 
! I'm low-key obsessed with trying to figure out who it is 
. First, they make us think Montez Ford might be the one, then Bryan Alvarez says nope, and now we're back to thinking Theory or maybe even Jacob Fatu?
