For weeks now fans have been trying to figure out the identity of the mysterious masked man who has been attacking The Vision. During Friday’s episode of SmackDown, Logan Paul and Jacob Fatu faced off in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match, and the masked man interfered once again.
As Austin Theory was watching the match from ringside the masked man appeared out of nowhere and hit Theory with a superkick followed by a Curb Stomp. Logan Paul then rolled out of the ring and hit the masked man with a right hand.
The Maverick decided it was time to remove the mask, but when the man’s face was revealed neither Heyman nor Logan Paul knew who it was. The reveal was confusing to many fans as the person under the mask appeared to be just a random man.
Following the big unmasking segment on SmackDown, The Local Competitor identified the masked man as Don Furio. The account pointed out that Furio has trained at Black and Brave Wrestling Academy which is owned by Seth Rollins. He also appeared on AEW Dark in 2022, and alongside Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo in a segment that aired on NXT in 2025.

It’s not clear at this point in time where the masked man storyline is going, but it was recently reported that the angle was set to undergo heavy rewrites now that Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed are sidelined due to injuries.
