However, fans found out that the person was one of Seth Rollins&#8217; Black and Brave Academy students, and it sounds interesting.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"template__newsletter-inline-banner-form-combo-widget\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<p><img id=\"subscribe-img\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will look at three reasons why Logan Paul unmasked the mystery attacker on the Friday night show.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>#3. This mystery attacker is a decoy<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/twitter-embed\">\n<div class=\"profile-card\">\n<p><span><span>Don Furio was the man under the mask tonight on #SmackDown. He is a student of Seth Rollins\u2019 at Black and Brave<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons WWE pulled this unmasking angle of the mystery man on SmackDown was because it wasn&#8217;t the real mystery man. The movement of this mystery attacker appeared to be different from that of the other person who attacked The Vision members earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The mystery man on the blue brand could be a decoy planted by the original person, and done only to distract The Vision members. Now, the faction members will feel that they have exposed the mystery attacker and will be left stunned when the real one appears and costs them again.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>#2. WWE is still confused about the real mystery man<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier, Seth Rollins was speculated to be the mystery man. This was particularly after the black hooded figure attacked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/bron-breakker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Bron Breakker<\/a> at Royal Rumble 2026. As per rumors, Rollins and Breakker were supposed to have a match at WrestleMania 42.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the idea was scrapped after Bron was expected to miss this year&#8217;s Showcase of the Immortals. The reason why Logan Paul unmasked an unknown man as the mystery attacker on the blue brand could be that the company might still be confused about the real identity of the attacker.<\/p>\n<p>If Bron was there, Rollins might have already been revealed as the mystery man.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>#1. To put the mystery attacker storyline on hold<\/h2>\n<p>The mystery man storyline is a major part of the WWE landscape. After its introduction in the Men&#8217;s Rumble match, the mystery attacker assaulted Vision members multiple times on WWE RAW.<\/p>\n<p>Unmasking the black hooded figure on SmackDown with an unknown star could be done to put the storyline on hold. Later, the company could resume the storyline when Seth Rollins is fit to compete or when Bron Breakker recovers from injury.<\/p>\n<p>Rest, it will be interesting to see how things will unfold at Elimination Chamber 2026, especially since Logan Paul advanced for the Chamber bout.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline bottom\" data-tab=\"bottom\">\n<p>Read all the hottest WWE news from Sportskeeda by choosing us as your preferred source.
