There has been no shortage of masked men on WWE TV this past year. However, one of the longest-running storylines has been the masked man who is tormenting The Vision. Specifically, this unknown assailant has been finishing off Paul Heyman’s Guys with former Vision leader, Seth Rollin’s Stomp. While the man under the black mask might be revealed as Seth Rollins, it hasn’t been himover the last few weeks. Fans have speculated that everyone from Grayson Waller to Jake Paul is under the mask. Now, Logan Paul reveals the identity of WWE’s masked man.
Logan Paul Qualifies for Elimination Chamber
The twists and turns on the Road to WrestleMania continue. As we reported here, Jey Uso unexpectedly defeated The Original El Grande Americano to qualify for the Elimination Chamber Match. That’s because the scripted winner, Bronson Reed, went down with an injury.
SmackDown in Louisville kicked off with medics loading Jey Uso into an ambulance. The WWE Tag Team Champion was attacked by a mystery person and will not be cleared for the Elimination Chamber PLE on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Learn how to watch WWE PLEs on a VPN here!
Logan Paul wrestled Jacob Fatu to replace Jey Uso for the final coveted spot in the Elimination Chamber Match. The Vision Member ended up with the W after a chaotic finish.
Drew McIntyre would stick his nose into Jacob Fatu’s business, planting the Samoan Werewolf with a shot to the head using the WWE Title. Due to this interference, Logan Paul rolled up Jey Uso’s cousin to advance to the Elimination Chamber.
While Drew McIntyre cost Jacob Fatu the match, this talking point happened after another shocking moment.
Logan Paul Rips Off Mask of Assailant
Leading into the final moments of the match, things started to break down around ringside. Among the chaos, a masked man appeared to attack Austin Theory.
As usual, the masked man dropped Austin Theory with a Superkick. He backed up to finish off the former US Champ with a Curb Stomp. This time, Logan Paul was there to intercept. The former boxer punched the masked man across the face with his hand that contains a metal screw.
With one punch, the masked attacker crumbled to the ground. Doing his best Scooby Doo impression, Logan Paul snatched the mask off the man. Much to the chagrin of the crowd (and The Vision), everyone was left saying, “Who are you?”
Who Was Under the Mask on SmackDown?
For months, many Superstars donned the mask to keep fans speculating. In the past, WWE allegedly used Austin Theory in the event that they went the route of him reuniting with Seth Rollins. However, this can’t be possible, as the masked man continuously attacks Austin Theory.
Others have confirmed that Grayson Waller has worn the mask on many occasions. Unlike Austin Theory, his A-Town Down Under partner was never considered to be the final reveal. The new New Day recruit was just a stand-in to keep the storyline going while Seth Rollins heals from injury.
That said, it wasn’t Grayson Waller under the mask on SmackDown. Logan Paul revealed that the person covering his face on last night’s episode was an independent talent named Don Furio. While millions of people were scratching their heads as to why this random person was under the mask, his connection to Seth Rollins starts to make this scenario make sense.
What Is Don Furio’s Connection to Seth Rollins?
Seth Rollins is a Visionary, and he’s cultivating future talent for the wrestling industry in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa. The former WWE Champion is the founder of Black and Brave Wrestling, a training school that houses many independent upstarts, including Don Furio.
Don Furio got his start in the Carolinas wrestling scene over the past few years. The future masked man started his wrestling journey around 2018. He enrolled in Black and Brave Wrestling before hitting the road to make independent shots.
The Magnificent Don Furio eventually caught the eye of Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall. He became a member of The Nightmare Factory. Don Furio even wrestled a match for AEW under his real name, Donovan Izzolena.
Izzolena teamed with B. Jack on an episode of AEW Dark in 2022. The pairing was on the losing end of a match against The Acclaimed.
After his brief AEW run, The Don returned to Black and Brave Wrestling. He’s spent the last few years honing his craft under Seth Rollins’ watchful eye.
His loyalty to Black and Brave has paid off, as Don Furio has been used as an extra for NXT tapings. Now, he’s officially made his WWE debut, as Logan Paul revealed Don Furio under the mask.
It remains to be seen if there are more men gunning for Paul Heyman’s group. There are rumors that Seth Rollins may return at Elimination Chamber to cost Logan Paul the match and set up a potential WrestleMania showdown.
