What's in the box?

If you've been following Raw and SmackDown, you probably noticed the huge mystery box that has appeared week after week. All indications are that it will be opened on February 28 during the event.

And here's the curious (and somewhat humorous) theory: that inside is Hornswoggle, ready to announce his WWE Hall of Fame induction.

Joke? Real surprise? Unexpected return?

WWE usually plays with this type of mystery to generate conversation before WrestleMania.
