The identity of WWE\’s mysterious masked man has finally been revealed. On tonight\’s episode of SmackDown (February 27, 2026), the figure who has been attacking top WWE stars for weeks was unmasked and revealed to be Don Furio, an independent pro wrestler with a direct connection to Seth Rollins.
According to Furio\’s Facebook page, he trained at Seth Rollins\’ Black and Brave Wrestling Academy.

The Masked Man\’s Rampage
The masked attacker first appeared at the 2026 Royal Rumble, where he ambushed Bron Breakker before he could officially enter the match, using Rollins\’ signature Curb Stomp. The attacks continued in the weeks that followed, with the figure targeting Logan Paul, Jacob Fatu, and Roman Reigns across both Raw and SmackDown.
Earlier reports had pointed to Grayson Waller as a potential candidate for the man under the mask, with speculation that Waller had been quietly pulled from NXT events and brought to Riyadh for the Royal Rumble. Tonight\’s reveal of Don Furio puts that theory to rest.
What This Means for WrestleMania 42
With Furio now unmasked, all signs point back to Rollins as the architect of the entire scheme. Using one of his own Black and Brave students to carry out attacks while he recovers from injury. That’s if WWE acknowledges Furio’s true identity in storylines, or if this is yet another red herring.
