During the main event of SmackDown, Logan Paul defeated Jacob Fatu with assistance from Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, securing his spot in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, replacing Jey Uso, who remains sidelined after an attack.

This individual was identified as Don Furo, an independent wrestler and trainee at Seth Rollins’ Black & Brave Wrestling School. While his appearance stirred intrigue, speculation persists that the man seen may not be the actual masked character intended in the storyline, leaving fans curious about future developments.
