WWE introduced a new storyline into the fold at Survivor Series when a masked mystery man ran in, interfering in the men's WarGames match and costing the babyfaces the contest. The man re-appeared the next night on Raw laying out multiple other stars.
A subsequent report indicated that to maintain the mystery surrounding the identity of the masked assailant, WWE had at least two different people don the mask though most reports suggested that the end goal was for the person to be unveiled as Austin Theory, who has long been rumored to be joining The Vision stable.
In another rumor, Bryan Alvarez of f4wonline.com commented on reports that Montez Ford was linked to the person and in fact, was under the mask on one occasion, however, he later confirmed that the man behind the appearance was not Ford despite his physique looking like his. He also confirmed that on Monday's Raw, Theory was also not behind the mask.
