Austin Theory unmasks himself on WWE RAW as the mysterious helper of The Vision—and also reveals a new look.
The mystery surrounding the masked helper of WWE group The Vision has been solved: During the latest episode of the TV show Monday Night RAW, reports that Austin Theory is the man behind the mask were confirmed.
The former “favorite student” of league founder Vince McMahon revealed his identity on RAW – along with a new look.
WWE RAW: Austin Theory reveals himself
As a reminder, since Survivor Series, the unknown figure had repeatedly intervened decisively in matches involving the Vision alliance (Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and mastermind Paul Heyman) once founded by Seth Rollins.
At WarGames, the masked man stormed the cage, stomped World Champion CM Punk, and helped The Vision to victory. On RAW, the masked man struck again: during the match between Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio, he climbed into the ring, stomped Mysterio again, and paved the way for Paul’s victory.
CM Punk then stormed after him with a chair, but was only able to corner the attacker in the audience area – where Theory finally took off his mask and revealed a change in appearance: he now has his hair cropped short.

Comeback after five months
Under former boss McMahon, Theory was presented for a while as McMahon’s hand-picked top star of the future. The controversial push for Theory was noticeably slowed down after McMahon’s departure and the creative takeover by “Triple H” Paul Levesque. Nevertheless, Theory is considered a promising prospect in the medium term. Heyman, also a powerful mastermind behind the scenes, has repeatedly emphasized that he continues to think highly of Theory.
Theory was most recently seen as part of the tag team A-Town Down with Australian Grayson Waller, but after its dissolution, Theory disappeared from the scene for a while. Now he’s back and taking on a bigger role in the story again.
