10 Most Shocking WWE Mystery Revelations

Kurt Angle's covert backstage phone calls have attracted more intrigue than almost any other WWE storyline this year, with last week's "I love you" sign-off prompting a plethora of fan theories as to the identity of the person on the other end of the line.

Speculation - that's the fun part. Problem is, we're all experienced enough to know how these mystery angles tend to play out. WWE spends weeks leading us down a blind alley before suddenly hitting us with a curve-ball nobody saw coming - and few really wanted.

In their efforts to go down a route nobody could have foreseen, the results are often far-fetched, kooky and, on occasion, just outright ridiculous. They just can't help themselves it seems.

Honestly, though, who can blame them? Fans these days are just too good at second-guessing their finely-laid plans, and the only way to truly shock a crowd is to do something they'd never, ever expect.

Admit it: you will be disappointed if Angle's mystery... angle ends with the Olympic medallist renewing acquaintances with Stephanie McMahon. We want to be fooled!

Mystery: Who sent a text message to Kevin Nash encouraging him to attack CM Punk? Answer: Kevin Nash.

It's a hollow victory when you succeed in pulling the wool over your fans' eyes, but only because your reveal makes absolutely no sense.

In WWE's defence, though, it was rumoured that they had originally planned it so that Triple H would be the man who sent the text (fitting - considering it came from his phone).

But Big Kev wasn't cleared to compete, so they pulled the plug on a full-on feud with CM Punk and instead had him take on Triple H - in one of wrestling's most pedestrian-looking ladder matches ever - months down the line.

Yeah, it's still pretty perplexing six years later, but you can't honestly say that you saw it coming.
