Backstage News on the Identity of Survivor Series WarGames Mystery Attacker – The men’s WarGames main event at WWE Survivor Series 2025 ended with a shocking twist, as a hooded figure interfered to cost CM Punk the match.
In the closing moments, the masked man delivered a superkick and stomp to Punk, setting up Bron Breakker to hit a spear and secure victory. The attacker’s identity was left unconfirmed on the broadcast, but multiple outlets have since reported who was under the hood.
PWInsider reported that Austin Theory was the man in disguise, noting earlier in the day that Theory was backstage and scheduled to be involved. Fightful Select published a similar report shortly after the match, citing WWE sources who confirmed Theory was the mystery figure.
During the Survivor Series post-show, Paul Heyman was asked repeatedly to reveal the attacker’s identity but refused to answer, keeping the storyline unresolved on WWE’s end.
Theory has been absent from WWE television for several months, reportedly dealing with an injury. A former United States Champion, he was originally planned to be part of the WarGames team alongside Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Seth Rollins before plans shifted due to Rollins’ injury.
While WWE has yet to officially acknowledge the situation, the reports suggest Theory’s return is imminent. His disguised interference at Survivor Series may serve as the first step in reintroducing him to the roster.
For now, fans are left with speculation and the lingering image of a hooded figure costing CM Punk the match — an ending that sets the stage for new rivalries as WWE heads into the winter season.
