Over the years, WWE has given us some of the most compelling television around as well as gripping characters and storylines, night after night. However, as know as fans of pro wrestling, every storyline can't be a success and won't go over well with the fans.

However, there have been some storylines over the years that were never really finished and left more questions after being abruptly thrown aside or in some cases, it was just more convenient to not answer these lingering questions.

Let's take a look at 5 such unfinished WWE storylines that still haven't been answered.


#4. What was in the McMahon lockbox?

In the run up to WrestleMania 32, the WWE Universe saw the return of Shane McMahon to the WWE. Shane returned and confronted his father and sister for the direction they were taking the WWE before later being put in a match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.

However, what we will focus on is his first promo after his return during which he mentioned a lockbox. Vince was shocked after the lockbox revealtion and told Shane he would take control of RAW if he could beat Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.

Despite the tease of a big revelation from the lockbox, it was totally ignored after a few weeks and after Shane lost to Undertaker at WrestleMania, we still don't know about its contents.

The year was 2015 and WWE had just begun the Divas revolution had just begun a few months beforehand. In the fall, someone started attacking Natalya backstage and it happened on a few occassions.

It looked set to lead to a new feud for Natalya but WWE never really followed up on this and we still don't know who was actually behind the attacks. It was implied that it could be Team BAD but now we'll never know.

#2. Who was behind GTV?

Any fan of the Attitude Era will remember the renegade GTV.

GTV was sort of WWE's version of Candid Camera where a series of grainy backstage videos captured Superstars totally unaware behind the scenes. The segments are still fondly remembered by fans but WWE never officially ended the storyline and it just disappeared from programming.

In an interview in 2015, Chris Jericho said that the man behind GTV was originally supposed to be Tom Green but now we'll never know for sure.

Here's what Jericho had to say about what he'd heard regarding GTV:

"I just found out about it the other day. I didn’t know! GTV. And remember doesn’t it fit because remember Tom Green used to film stuff you know, pranks, stuff and all that **** and then what happened was they started planting the seeds for GTV and then Vince actually saw Tom Green’s stuff and said this guy is not funny."

#1. Who raised the briefcase?

The main-event of King of the Ring 1999 saw 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin face Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon in a handicap match for control of WWE. The contract was in a briefcase hanging above the ring.

The previous month had seen Vince's wife Linda McMahon return and show concern in the direction that the WWE was going. Linda then decided to name Stone Cold as the CEO of the WWE. Austin made life hell for Vince McMahon at WWE HQ and it lead to Vince booking the match at King of the Ring.

Austin dominated the match and destroyed the McMahons. As he went to retrieve the briefcase, it was raised, and then raised again out of Austin's reached. This cost Austin the match but we never found out who actually raised the briefcase.
