The year 2019 has been full of ups and downs for WWE and pro-wrestling in general. From having a historic first-time-ever Women's main event at WrestleMania to the controversial exit of Dean Ambrose and the massive rise of All Elite Wrestling, 2019 has been a very happening year in the world of pro-wrestling.

Throughout the first six months of this year, there have been some major mysteries in WWE that have been left unsolved. Whether this is long-term storytelling or just a scrapped up idea is yet to be seen.

In this article, let's take a look at the four unanswered mysteries of 2019.


#4 Who attacked Sami Zayn at Money in the Bank?

In the latest WWE NEWS, Money in the Bank was the best PPV of the year, till now. Right from the beginning, the show was filled with amazing matches and exciting surprises and twists. But the biggest twist of them all was the Beast, Brock Lesnar coming out as the eighth participant in the match to win it and become Mr. Money in the Bank 2019.

Originally, this spot was supposed to be taken by Sami Zayn, but during the opening hours of the show, Sami was found hanging upside down unconsciously in the backstage area. Triple H himself came out to find out who the culprit was, and confronted Braun Strowman. It was the Monster Among Men whose spot Sami Zayn took one week before the PPV, hence the first doubt went on him. But Braun denied being the one to put Sami in that position.

The second person who many believe could have done that was none other than the Beast in the Bank, Brock Lesnar, as this was the reason that Sami got out of the match and Brock became the surprise entrant. But Paul Heyman denied his client's involvement in the matter as well.

I've also seen some fans claim that it could have been Bray Wyatt/The Fiend who attacked Sami and took him out, but we don't have any evidence of that so far. The weirdest part is how Sami himself hasn't spoken about this with anyone else. This is a mystery yet to be solved.

#3 What did Paul Heyman told Baron Corbin at Stomping Grounds

This is the most recent edition in the list. At WWE Stomping Grounds, Paul Heyman, the advocate of the Beast in the Bank, was seen coming out of the room of Baron Corbin. When asked by the backstage interviewer about his involvement in the Universal Championship match later that night, he did not give any clear answer and puzzled us even more.

With Corbin supposed to select a special guest referee for his match against Seth Rollins, many fans believed that Heyman could be the one for the job. But later that night, Corbin introduced Lacey Evans as the special guest referee. More surprising was that there were no signs of both Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar.

Paul Heyman's massive involvement in the bout surely means he has something huge planned for his client. But what could he potentially negotiate with the man who could himself have become a target of the Beast had he won the championship match?

There's more to this story which only Heyman can tell us, and let's hope we get our answers on the following RAW.

#2 Who are the puppets in the Firefly Funhouse?

The Firefly Funhouse has been full of joy, fun, mysteries, and terror. What is being portrayed as a friendly gimmick by Bray Wyatt has many secret demented layers attached to it. One such layer is the puppets inside his Funhouse.

This new gimmick of Bray Wyatt has introduced us to many other characters like Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, Rambling Rabbit, Devil Vince, and Husky the Pig Boy. As innocent as they might look, they are scary and we don't know who and what they actually are.

While many claim Abby the Witch is a reincarnation of Sister Abigail, we are yet to get any confirmation from the same from Bray Wyatt. Mercy the Buzzard is rumored to be a tribute to the character that Bray Wyatt's original gimmick was inspired from.

On the other hand, we have no clue who Rambling Rabbit is. By far the most innocent of them all, who almost revealed the dark secret of what goes on inside the Funhouse, poor Ramblin' Rabbit has been killed multiple times throughout these segments. But surprisingly, he has somehow managed to come back to life again and again. Is he immortal?

There have been rumors of these characters being played by someone when Wyatt/The Fiend makes his in-ring debut, and maybe then we will get some clarification as to who these puppets actually are.

#1 Who attacked Big E backstage?

On the May 22nd episode of SmackDown, we saw the return of Big E after suffering an injury during a match after WrestleMania 35. Still coming out with tapes wrapped on his leg, Big E was met with a thunderous cheer from the fans.

But later that night, he was found injured in the backstage area, with many believing Kevin Owens to be the culprit. Owens, at that time, was feuding with Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. But KO denied being behind the attack on the following episode of SmackDown. So if KO was not behind the attack, who was?

There have been theories of Big E himself faking the attack, which suggested that he would turn heel on Kofi, but that has not happened so far. Another theory again suggested Bray Wyatt/The Fiend being behind the attack, but we have no evidence of that either.

With no explanation of the man involved himself, this is another mystery that was left unsolved. Is this song long term storytelling by WWE or they just changed their mind to do something and scrapped it off entirely? What do you think?
