The mystery surrounding the masked attacker who laid out CM Punk at Survivor Series WarGames<\/a> just got a major update\u2014straight from WWE.com.<\/p>\n

In a segment compiled by Pat McAfee Show contributor Mark Kaboly, WWE published a full suspect list, ranking the possible culprits behind the shocking Stomp that ended the WarGames main event and helped The Vision secure victory.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the breakdown of suspects, ranked from most to least likely, according to the post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Randy Orton: The top suspect. Orton\u2019s long and often bitter history with Punk is well-documented, dating back to matches like WrestleMania 27. His recent absence from TV makes him a prime candidate for a surprise return. Kaboly points out that Orton\u2019s November 2023 return was overshadowed by Punk\u2019s, which \u201ccouldn\u2019t have gone over well with Orton.\u201d Add in Orton\u2019s subtle flirtation with a heel turn before his disappearance, and the timing seems to fit. Austin Theory: The physical build of the attacker has many thinking it\u2019s Theory under the mask. His past ties to Paul Heyman and The Vision make this a logical option\u2014but perhaps too logical. As Kaboly writes: \u201cIf that wasn\u2019t Theory dressed all in black, then I think we are kidding ourselves.\u201d Seth Rollins: The wildcard. Rollins and Punk have real-life tension and onscreen hostility. Despite being out with injury and apparently no longer associated with The Vision, Rollins is still on TV often\u2014so he might not be as sidelined as believed. Kaboly says: \u201cHe fooled us not long ago, so why not again?\u201d John Cena: An extreme long shot\u2014but given Cena\u2019s history with Punk, especially during their legendary 2011\u20132012 rivalry, his name still makes the list. \u201cYou can\u2019t ignore the history,\u201d Kaboly notes, though he admits it \u201creally doesn\u2019t make much sense at all.\u201d LA Knight: Frustrated and overlooked, Knight might have decided to take matters into his own hands. A confrontation with Punk could catapult him into title contention. Kaboly speculates that Knight \u201ccould be fed up with not getting an opportunity at a title.\u201d Becky Lynch\u201d Yes, The Man made the list. Kaboly suggests Lynch\u2019s erratic behavior lately could open the door to something as shocking as targeting Punk. Plus, there\u2019s a curious thread\u2014Lynch tapped out to AJ Lee earlier in the night. Kaboly writes: \u201cThe Man is so unhinged right now that you can\u2019t put anything past what she might do.\u201d Sami Zayn: With Logan Paul\u2019s future in The Vision uncertain, Zayn could slide into that role. But Kaboly questions whether \u201call this mystery over a piece of The Vision [is] worth interrupting WarGames.\u201d AJ Styles: A long-standing Punk rival, Styles remains a dark horse. Kaboly notes: \u201cWith Styles pushing toward the end of his career, there are worse things than him getting a chance at a title run.\u201d <\/p>\n

The identity of the masked figure remains officially unconfirmed, but with Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event and John Cena\u2019s farewell match on the horizon, the answer may not stay hidden for long.<\/p>\n
