Whilst the anonymous General Manager of Monday Night Raw was revealed to have been Hornswoggle and it was Rikishi all along, there have been many other mysteries that never had an actual ending and the answer has bugged the WWE Universe for a number of years.

There are hundreds of mysteries from the world of WWE and here are just five that continue to keep us up at night.

#5 What was in Shane’s lockbox?

Back in February 2016, the WWE Universe was given one of the best moments in the history of the company when Shane McMahon returned to pour water all over his sister’s celebrations. Shane was able to use the fact that WWE’s ratings were struggling at the time to his advantage by blaming Stephanie’s management style, before beginning to blackmail his father.

Shane seemingly had some kind of lockbox and a deep dark secret that allowed him to push for control of the company. Vince agreed if he had a match at WrestleMania, which turned out to be against The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell, a match that he lost but was still able to go on to become one of the Commissioners of WWE’s two main shows.

It seemed as though McMahon was set to blackmail his father for some time about this lockbox, but the idea was suddenly dropped and two years later we are no closer to finding out what Vince’s darkest secret was.

#4 Why did the timekeeper have the power to overrule the referee?

WWE has always had a flirtationship with the official rules in the wrestling business and often finds loopholes to ensure that they are still within the rules, but even WWE went a step too far back at SummerSlam in 2015 when Brock Lesnar took on The Undertaker.

Undertaker technically won the match by submission after Brock Lesnar passed out in Hells Gate, but earlier in the match the timekeeper had rung the bell and signalled that the match was over when he saw Undertaker tapping. This has never happened before and the timekeeper has never been able to overrule the referee, which is why the match continued but it does raise the question as to why the timekeeper didn’t do the same thing for Samoa Joe at Hell in a Cell.

#3 Who was texting Corey Graves about Jason Jordan?

Corey Graves had the inside scoop on Kurt Angle when he came to WWE as General Manager and forced him to reveal that Jason Jordan was his son last year, but Graves was texting someone throughout the storyline and had to get his information from somewhere.

Graves source was never revealed, but it was Graves who later knew who it was attacking Enzo Amore and on a recent episode of SmackDown Live he said he was going to text someone about the “Milwaukee” situation, which shows that The Saviour of Misbehaviour has a source outside of the company that hasn’t yet been revealed.

#2 Who attacked Hideo Itami

Hideo Itami was attacked in the Full Sail parking lot back in 2015 and his attack has been brought up a number of times in recent months because of the similarities between this and Aleister Black’s recent assault.

Itami was out of action with a shoulder injury for more than a year after he was attacked and WWE were unable to pick up where they left off in this feud so the WWE Universe never found out who it was. Reports suggested that it was Kevin Owens, but this was never confirmed and as far as NXT fans are aware, the same man could have waited and decided to attack Black as well.

#1 Who tried to kill Vince McMahon

Rewind all the way back to 2007 and many fans will remember that Vince McMahon staged his own demise inside a firey limo, on the same episode of Raw that saw Paul London smiling about the fact that he was walking to his death.

It was thought that this was going to lead to a huge “whodunnit” storyline in the months that followed, but merely weeks later Chris Benoit’s demise hit the headlines and McMahon was forced to return to steady his ship which showed that he wasn’t actually harmed in that limo at all.

Donald Trump actually believed that McMahon was dead after the stunt and more than a decade later the WWE Universe are no closer to finding out who wanted to kill The Chairman of WWE.
