Identity Of SmackDown Masked Man Revealed (WWE News)
It wasn't Seth Rollins who attacked Logan Paul on SmackDown, but there IS a link.
A mysterious masked/hooded man attacked Vision members Austin Theory and Logan Paul during the latter's Elimination Chamber qualifier vs. Jacob Fatu on Friday's 'go home' edition of SmackDown before the PLE. Then, Paul grabbed the invader and ripped his hood off to reveal...
...Don Furio.
Most pro wrestling fans won't know who Furio is, and it's unclear whether or not he's been the mystery man going after The Vision for a while now. There's a chance the role has been played by multiple wrestlers/extras. Triple H also loves this kind of angle, so it probably won't be the last time people see it.
For context, Don has trained at Seth Rollins’ Black and Brave Wrestling Academy and the Nightmare Factory led by Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall for years now. He did show up on an episode of AEW Dark back in 2022 - Furio teamed with B. Jack and lost to The Acclaimed.
It's tough to find much info on where Furio wrestles beyond that, but he's pretty much an independent circuit hopeful who would've jumped at the chance for this kind of spotlight on a major WWE show. Again though, it remains to be seen whether or not creative will even tell people who Don is and explain his ties to Rollins.
They should, because there's a story to be told here.
Paul ultimately defeated Fatu to replace Jey Uso in this weekend's Chamber match. Of course, Uso himself was a late substitute for the injured Bronson Reed. WWE decided to stick a Vision member in the match anyway.
