After a mystery attacker struck at WWE Royal Rumble 2026 and specifically took out Bron Breakker, there are a number of suspects.
From potentially returning stars that could be seeking revenge on The Vision to a few entirely unexpected options, there could be a big reveal coming soon to WWE Raw on Netflix.
Here are seven potential stars that could be revealed as the identity behind the masked man that attacked Bron Breakker at WWE Royal Rumble 2026.
7. Seth Rollins
While he is still presumably out of action due to injury, it hasn’t stopped some fans from speculating that Seth Rollins was the latest mystery attacker.
With the run-in costing Breakker in a big way and leading to him being eliminated quickly by Oba Femi, Paul Heyman’s stated plan to have all members of The Vision working on Breakker’s behalf went up in flames.
Delivering a curb stomp to Breakker, it would seem as though the mystery attacker wanted fans to believe it was Seth Rollins.
However, potentially looking to have a surprise reveal in the future, Rollins might return to reveal himself as having been the one to strike in Riyadh.

6. Adam Pearce
With Paul Heyman accosting Adam Pearce about the number 2 entry for Bron Breakker on the Royal Rumble 2026 countdown show, there was a tense showdown on-stage.
With some fans believing the figure and facial hair of the mystery attacker matched Adam Pearce, perhaps the WWE Raw GM has had enough of the abuse from The Vision and took matters into his own hands.
Another outside theory that fans have bantered about online is that the neck movement seemed to make a reference to another AEW name that sports facial hair in Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose in WWE.
However, that won’t be the case as Moxley is still under contract with AEW and is believed to be signed through 2027 after signing a five year extension back in 2022.

5. Aleister Black
Among the list of suspects that could have been Bron Breakker’s mystery attacker, any man that was expected to appear in the Royal Rumble 2026 but didn’t could be on the list.
Included on the short list of absent stars that includes the likes of The Street Profits and Finn Balor is also Aleister Black.
Potentially marking his territory as someone hopping brands from SmackDown to WWE Raw, he may end up reunited with Seth Rollins in a new faction.
In what could be an unexpected swerve, Aleister Black could be the perfect choice to kick off a brand new storyline.

4. Austin Theory
Perhaps the most obvious theory might be that the latest mystery attacker is the same as the first – Austin Theory.
With Theory seemingly the least enthusiastic of the group about The Vision’s plan to work together in the WWE Royal Rumble match in order to secure a victory for Breakker, he certainly has motive.
Although the size and shape of the attacker didn’t seem to match Theory, it seems that the costuming department has gotten wise and certainly outfitted whomever the attacker was in some relatively baggy clothing.
With the potential that Theory could be a double agent for Seth Rollins, it could be that the mystery attacker ends up being revealed to have been Austin all along.

3. Logan Paul
Perhaps the most compelling piece of evidence is a fan photo floating about of the mystery attacker in Riyadh giving a bit more detail than the WWE cameras captured.
With close up shots from a different angle revealing a bit more of the attacker’s face, it seems as though under the hood was a balaclava that revealed the area around the attackers mouth.
Seemingly sporting not only facial hair but rather light colored facial hair at that, signs seemingly point to Logan Paul.
Other possibilities could be Sami Zayn, Brock Lesnar or perhaps Myles Borne from NXT, but it might be that Logan Paul ends up turning on The Vision before they turn on him.

2. Grayson Waller
One tall and lanky star that wasn’t in the Royal Rumble that could be considered a suspect is Grayson Waller.
With Waller recently having facial hair on TV, there is another interesting detail that could be a clue.
While Waller was originally advertised for WWE NXT house shows in Nashville and Knoxville, Tennessee but was subsequently pulled from those events.
Although Waller was replaced by Santos Escobar in NXT action, he didn’t end up appearing at the Royal Rumble (outside of a non-televised pre-show match) – unless of course, he is later revealed to be the mystery attacker.

1. Ricky Saints
One possible suspect that could certainly end UP being revealed as the man under the mask might be wwe NXT star Ricky Saints.
With the swift movements and baggy clothing on the star looking to obscure any specific detail, the overall appearance of the attacker did seem similar to Saints.
With a compelling case to be made for why the hands of the mystery man certainly line up with Ricky Saints’ hands, the hands were able to rule out at least one potential theory.
Some fans initially believed the attacked may have been Finn Balor and therefore the reason the Irishman didn’t make an appearance, until eagle eyed fans noted that the lack of tattoos on the hands of the mystery man, meaning it couldn’t have been Balor.
