Former WWE Superstar, 40, Says He Was Mystery Attacker at Survivor Series 2025

CM Punk was attacked by a mystery man at the Survivor Series Premium live event. Former WWE Superstar Shane Haste has claimed to be the man behind the mask.

Rush began appearing on the main roster in 2020 following his NXT stint. Later that year, he was revealed as one of the members of the Retribution faction, under the name Slapjack. The following year, he was released from the Stamford-based company.

AX, Haste claimed that Slapjack was the man behind the mask that appeared at the Survivor Series Premium live event and cost Punk and his team a chance to win the Men's WarGames Match. It is very likely that the 40-year-old was being sarcastic with his comment.

“We all know who it was in the end… #SurvivorSeries,” Haste wrote.

I think it's time for an update on Sami Zayn. But what if Sami Zayn wasn't so nice? What if Sami Zayn was so nice? Zayn wasn't the guy who just worked hard and was like, 'Oh, yeah shall I do?”

Zayn is signed to WWE SmackDown, where he feuds with MFT. Last week on the blue brand, Zayn teamed up with The Motor City Machine Guns, Rey Fenix ​​and Shinsuke Nakamura for a traditional Survivor Series five-on-five tag team match.
