Vince McMahon’s “Illegitimate Son” Teases Being Inside WWE Mystery Box
This well-known WWE Legend claims to be the one inside the new mystery box.
On the latest episode of Raw, General Manager Adam Pearce was walked to a human-sized crate by an employee named Eli.
The writing on the crate read: Deliver to WWE. Do not open until 28/2/2026. This is the date the Elimination Chamber PLE will take place.
Pearce was quick to ask Eli to send the box to SmackDown, for the blue brand’s GM, Nick Aldis, deal with.
