WWE has once again turned to a familiar storytelling device as another mysterious phone call has sparked speculation among fans.
The company has used mysterious callers and cryptic conversations several times in recent storylines, creating an opportunity to introduce an unexpected character or reveal a major development without immediately revealing the person's identity.
The latest mystery has quickly led to fan theories regarding who could be behind the call and what role the individual could eventually play.
WWE has become increasingly comfortable allowing fans to speculate online before revealing the answer. Rather than immediately explaining every detail, the company can use mystery segments to generate discussion and keep audiences guessing from week to week.
That approach can be particularly effective when the mystery is connected to a major WWE star. Fans naturally begin looking at current storylines, absent performers and potential returns to determine who could be involved.
At this stage, there is no definitive answer regarding the identity of the caller, meaning much of the discussion remains speculation.
The storyline also demonstrates how WWE can use relatively simple television segments to create interest. A short phone conversation can become a major talking point if fans believe the person on the other end could be an important returning star.
Whether WWE eventually delivers a major surprise or uses the storyline to introduce a new character remains to be seen.
For now, the mystery continues, and WWE appears more than happy to allow fans to debate the possibilities.
