1. The Big Reveal

Whether destined to provide something intriguing or insane, the Kurt Angle mystery has been the week's major talking point since the Olympic Gold Medallist revealed that he'd thrash it all out on this week's edition of Monday Night Raw.

Speculation has run rampant on what the nature of his dark secret could be, with everything from illegitimate children to illicit affairs to ill-gotten gains all considered as the possible problem that could completely destroy his life.

Bubbling underneath the Attitude Era-esque scandal is a possible return to the ring for Kurt. Few wouldn't be in favour of seeing the multi-time WWE Champion lace up the boots at least once more on the world's biggest stage, and by the nature of his line of work, the scandalous story is sure to involve some physical conflict down the line.

The Monday Night Raw creative team should be credited for their efforts on the Enzo/Cass whodunnit storyline that at times ran concurrently with this other conundrum, with a faith-restoring payoff generating similar buzz when the well-liked tag team were severed in the wake of Big Cass' cruel attacks. It seems unlikely that their second payoff in as many months won't satisfy to a similar degree.
