The WWE Universe is buzzing after a masked figure stormed the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series and delivered a shocking Stomp to CM Punk. The moment instantly went viral, with fans and media outlets trying to uncover who was behind the hood. The early favourite suspect? Austin Theory.
Several outlets claimed Theory was the mystery attacker, mainly because the Stomp looked identical to Seth Rollins’ signature move and the masked figure had a similar athletic build. Many believed only someone like Theory could climb the cage so smoothly and hit that move with such precision.

But fans online have now found a major detail that throws those claims out the window — the eye colour doesn’t match.
In multiple slow-motion clips and zoomed images from fans at ringside, the masked star is seen with lighter-coloured eyes, possibly blue or hazel. Austin Theory, however, is known for his dark brown eyes. This single visual clue is strong enough to confirm he wasn’t the person under the mask that night.
This discovery has sparked a new wave of speculation. If it wasn’t Theory, then who was athletic enough to pull off that stunt? Some fans think it could be someone trained closely with Seth Rollins. Others believe it’s a returning NXT superstar or even a surprise new signing.

But one thing is now clear — the hooded figure in WarGames was not him.
The mystery attacker remains unidentified, setting the stage for one of WWE’s most intriguing storylines heading into the upcoming shows. The only confirmed clue so far? The eyes don’t lie — and Austin Theory is out of the picture.
