The identity of the mystery man from the main event of tonight's Survivor Series PPV has seemingly been revealed.
The finishing moments of tonight's PLE saw Bron Breaker and CM Punk coming face to face as a mystery figure climbed into the ring. The man dressed completely in black looked at both the contestants for a moment before choosing to attack Punk.
He delivered a superkick followed by a Stomp to the World Champion, reminding everyone of Seth Rollins. The man left Breaker to pin Punk without revealing his identity however, leaving the fans buzzing.

The Man Behind The Mystery
Now Fightful Select has provided a big update on this matter. According to them, WWE sources claim the man behind the hood is none other than a returning Austin Theory.
The former A-Town Down Under star had been dealing with an undisclosed injury and he has not wrestled since July this year. His tag team with Grayson Waller had also been disbanded quietly as Waller aligned himself with the New Day.
Theory using the Stomp makes sense, as he has some history with Rollins. The young star was briefly aligned with the former World Champion during his Monday Night Messiah run early in his main roster career.
How this will play out with Rollins having been kicked out of the group he founded is anyone's guess. It'll be interesting to see how things unfold when the Visionary returns from his shoulder injury.
