• Big Update On The Masked Man Angle
In the main event of SmackDown, Logan Paul defeated Jacob Fatu with help with Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, taking Jey Uso’s place (who was attacked and won’t be cleared).
During the match, the Masked Man showed up and superkicked Austin Theory. Logan then punched the masked man and unmasked him, and he turned out to be someone that we’ve never seen in WWE before.

According to Fightful Select, a number of changes to the masked man angle were made after Bronson Reed’s injury and Friday’s reveal was one of them. They also reported that the reveal of the real masked man hasn’t happened yet.

• RAW Star Will Miss WrestleMania 42
A sudden injury to Bronson Reed on this week’s RAW has sent shockwaves through WWE’s creative plans, forcing a total overhaul of key storylines.
Reed was originally booked to win his Elimination Chamber qualifying match, but his torn biceps injury meant officials had to pivot mid-show, crowning Jey Uso as the winner instead (who eventually got replaced by Logan Paul on last night’s SmackDown).
Bronson has underwent surgery and wrote the following: “Tomorrow is DAY ONE. The road back.”
According to Fightful Select, Bronson will miss WrestleMania 42.
• Seth Rollins Reveals His Return Plan
During an interview on ESPN’s First Take, Seth Rollins gave an update on his injury status: “I will not be able to do anything this weekend, but we’re getting close. I mean, look, I can move it around. It’s not in a sling anymore. It’s feeling good. It was in October is when I got the surgery. So you look at the timeline, we’re getting close.”
Rollins then made his return plan clear — he’s coming for the World Heavyweight Championship right away:
“The bottom line is whoever is holding on to my World Heavyweight Championship, because what you got to understand is I never lost that title. I was forced to give that title up due to injuries. So I want my title back.
Right now, CM Punk is holding on to that title, but he’s going into WrestleMania here very shortly. Actually, Elimination Chamber, since we’re talking about it, he’s got to get past Finn Balor.
Finn Balor, a former Universal Champion. So Finn Balor could be taking that into WrestleMania. Either way, somebody’s defending that title against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, and whoever comes out of that, I want next, boys. That title is mine. I never lost it.”
