WWE removed a controversial star from The Vision ahead of tonight’s episode of RAW at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. The powerful faction on RAW has been growing ever since they betrayed Seth Rollins last month.
Austin Theory was revealed to be the masked man helping The Vision, and he explained why in a backstage conversation with Paul Heyman on WWE RAW. The faction is scheduled to kick off tonight’s show, and the company shared a graphic featuring Austin Theory, Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman.
However, WWE deleted that post and uploaded a new graphic without the controversial Theory. You can check out the latest graphic in the post below.

Theory and Bronson Reed teamed up to defeat Rey Mysterio and CM Punk in the main event of last week’s episode of RAW. CM Punk is scheduled to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker next week on the red brand.
Seth Rollins used to be the leader of the faction but suffered an injury during his victory over Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel 2025. The company pivoted following the injury and had The Vision betray Rollins, writing him off WWE television.
Austin Theory explains why he helped The Vision on WWE RAW
RAW Superstar Austin Theory recently explained why he decided to help The Vision on the red brand.
During a backstage conversation with Paul Heyman, the former United States Champion noted that he wanted everyone to feel his actions first, and that is why he wore a mask. Theory added that he saw how the faction operated and wanted to be a part of it.
“I wanted you to know why I was wearing the mask. I wanted everybody to feel my actions before they saw my face. I’ve made some bad decisions. I got comfortable. I got injured. But then I saw The Vision. You didn’t wait for anything; you took it, and that’s me now. I take,” Theory said.
