a smackdown hacker what is the latest
with the Smackdown hacker is the gimmick
still ongoing have WWE dropped it what
is the latest with this popular and
mysterious gimmick that we've seen on
Friday Night Smackdown all we had
previously seen on Friday Night
Smackdown in 2020 now it's been about a
month now I believe since we've heard
anything from the SmackDown hacker on
their Twitter account on WWE television
the last thing we really saw was post
WrestleMania once they did the vignettes
with the SmackDown hacker highlighting
the SmackDown tag teams and indicating
that that was the direction they were
going to go in we saw the likes of the
new day and others in that Smackdown
vignette and we thought okay maybe a tag
teams gonna be splitting up in the
future we saw the likes of Dolph Ziggler
and Robert Roode and others in there too
but as of yet we haven't heard anything
else since now some people have
speculated that the hacking angle has
been dropped some people say it's just
been suspended
what is the laze update do we know
anything now some reports have come out
that said that sources inside the WWE
environment have said that the storyline
has not actually been dropped or died
but merely it's been put aside as the
lots of chaos creatively at the moment
the departure of Paul Heyman and Bruce
Prichard now being in charge of both Raw
and Smackdown creative teams and the
consolidation of both creative themes
into one creative teams some people have
speculated including the likes of Dave
Meltzer that a lot of angles have been
reshuffled and moved around now
according to an internal source in
stamford those who in the know of the
ending of the storyline were are very
reluctant to talk about it it's very
difficult to get information about this
storyline or where they are going to go
with it and there will appear that there
are only a very few handful selected
people that actually know the direction
that this storyline is going to going
however the mysterious hacker could
return at any moment on dayley to read
television but we haven't seen anything
in the last month or so the first
appearance of course that we actually
saw of the hacker was when the hacker
exposed Dolph Ziggler and Sony revealed
schemes to keep Otis and Mandy rows
apart which of course led to the
WrestleMania match between Ziggler and
Otis
now there's been a lot of discussion as
to who the hacker is the identity of the
hacker it to be honest it was a
storyline I think and it still does have
so much potential and the reason you can
say it has so much potential is because
the amount it's got people talking on
social media and wherever it was a
storyline that was a classic wrestling
whodunit or who is it a storyline which
always gets people talking anyway it was
a very slow and subtle build first of
all we had just the glitches wasn't it
first on on Smackdown during matches or
during promos we just see a slight
glitch here and there which got revealed
eventually more and more footage in
these glitches and then it was
eventually revealed that there was a
hacker behind it and we saw some promos
some vignettes on the hacker and that
sort of thing and then it was speculated
as to the identity of the hacker that's
what everyone wanted to know who was the
identity of the hacker now a lot of
people came to the conclusion and
rightfully so that the identity of the
hacker was indeed Mustafa Ali we haven't
seen Mustafa Ali on Debbie Dooley
television in months at this point we
certainly haven't seen him in 2020 on
WWE television a lot of people thought
he fit the gimmick perfectly considering
his law enforcement background and he
would have access to that kind of
surveillance footage and have this sort
of vigilante style character gimmick
would work perfectly with him of course
mr. Fraley was a Chicago police officer
so he has that background and I
mentioned before on this channel I think
the the hacker gimmick of having Mustafa
Riley as someone who is looking to write
injustice whether it's for heel or baby
faces a lot of people speculated is the
hacker going to be a heel or a baby face
now I've always said why not both
injustice is injustice right so I think
he could do both and he's kind of teased
that or they've kind of teased that I
must say when it comes to obviously the
baby face reveal with helping Mandy Rose
and Otis get together by revealing Dolph
Ziggler is turning to Bill's plan but
also he could have broken up a tag team
there and it could have been the likes
of the new day and imagine he broke up
someone like the new date now I'm
obviously saying the new day are ever
going to break up but you understand my
point there I think this character could
be both and it was
a character that captured the
imagination of professional wrestling
fans on social media and on the Internet
and it'd be such a shame for nothing to
happen it would be such a shame for this
to become the 2020 version of GTV
remember that on Monday Night Raw in the
late 90s we had GTV which was meant to
be the return of gold dust to the WWE
and then we never saw who was behind GTB
we never saw anything
GCB revealed the likes of Eddie
Guerrero's infidelities and Mae Young
and Mark Henry's infatuation together
and we never saw an outcome of it and to
this day it's something that people talk
about because it was something that got
a lot of people talking and we never saw
an outcome we never saw a finish of it
and regardless of what you may think
about storylines good or bad they should
always have a finish whether the finish
is good or bad I think of the raw
anonymous general manager there we never
got to finish to that and then when we
did it was revealed that it was
Hornswoggle I think just to wrap that
one up but whatever whatever I'm going
off on a major tangent here so the
hacker it's not over as of yet from what
I've heard it's certainly been postponed
and paused I've heard reports that the
reason they paused it also not only due
to the creative shake-up in the
executive positions in WWE but it was
also because the reveal was going to be
so big that they actually wanted to save
it as to when they had a live audience
there because they think that's when it
would get the best reaction so I
certainly could be something than we see
at the end of the year or once WWE
decide to start going in front of a live
audience in arenas once again by all
accounts that might not be far off which
is ludicrous to be honest considering
the situation in the United States at
the moment when it comes to the pandemic
when it comes to wearing masks testing
etc but w/e is planning for it so maybe
we'll see that sooner rather than later
as I mentioned a lot of people did
speculate that the identity of the
hacker would be my staff Riley this was
also backed up when the the hacker did a
couple of vignettes on Friday Night
Smackdown and on Twitter and obviously
the voice when they did these vignettes
was distorted was lowered and a lot of
people some very very very clever people
on the internet and on social media were
able to decipher this voice normalized
the voice levels and it sounded a lot
like
the hacker was indeed Mustafa Ali but
also I made a video on this channel
previously that looks like the hacker
wasn't just my staff Riley because when
they normalized those voice levels one
provo had the voice of my staff Riley
but another voice that came across in
those promos was indeed chad gable
shorty G so a lot of people would
speculate at the time okay could the
hack could not only be one people person
could it be a series of many people
we've seen the likes of hacking groups
in real life the likes of anonymous etc
the hackers aren't just one hacker
sometimes it's a group of hacker
sometimes it's a faction of hackers if
you will so some people were speculating
on that at the time now I don't think
that is the case now ifs in Chad gable
returned to WWE television recently on
Smackdown he's back doing his shorty G
gimmick people are calling him small
apparently he's small by the way yeah
you'd never know with all the jokes that
they do on Smackdown the terrible jokes
that shorty G is a small guy it was a
small guy he's like was he like 510 or
something like that he's not exactly
even that short but whatever and another
factor into this is that and the reason
I'm doing this video today is because we
actually had a hacking mention on Monday
Night Raw last night now it was a very
very very brief mention I don't think
it's anything to say that the storyline
is returning anytime soon but Bailey
mentioned it when in a backstage segment
with Sasha banks and Dolph Ziggler last
night on Monday Night Raw as they were
preparing for the main event which had
Dolph Ziggler and Sasha banks going up
against drew McIntyre and Oscar Bailey
made reference to you know you on
Smackdown reversed not that long ago and
you weren't doing that much the most
relevant thing you've done is when some
hacker revealed that you were scheming
with Sonja Duvall to keep Otis away from
Mandy Rose or something to that effect
so we did actually have a hacking
reference on Raw which of course the
internet popped for I did because you
know a lot of time in WWE
these things aren't said for no reason
hopefully so at least the storyline
isn't completely dead but a thing a
really important thing to consider when
it comes to the hacker I mentioned
previously that it's been widely
speculated and probably rightfully so it
is the outcome I think that mr. Fraley
was going to be revealed as the hacker
on Friday Night Smackdown well Mustapha
Riley has actually been mu
quietly to Monday Night Raw now his
profile does list under the raw page on
W calm right now
there hasn't been any real announcement
about on social media or on WV comm it's
been a very very quiet move to Monday
Night Raw
but mr. Fraley is a superstar on Monday
nights now that's important for several
reasons obviously the reason being that
a lot of people speculated he was going
to be the Smackdown hacker so maybe
they're moving their gimmick they're
moving that angle that storyline over to
Monday Night Raw that could certainly be
a possibility and it could certainly
could be something that we see in the
future so if they do decide to continue
with this hacking gimmick it could be on
Monday Night Raw as opposed to Friday
Night SmackDown now I mentioned
previously that there have been a
massive creative shuffle and angles and
storylines had been shuffled and moved
this might be a case of just that the
storyline might have been moved from
writer smack from Smackdown to raw sorry
and it might be a case of we have to
wait a little bit of time for it to bed
in on Monday Night Raw
I could obviously be speculating here it
might have been completely dropped I
hope not I hope not because I think it
was a gimmick that definitely had some
legs I think maybe with the current
climate that we're in at the moment with
obviously the the black lives matter
movement and the defund the police
movement etc etc maybe it's not the best
time to have a former police officer
become a hacker on TV and talk about
justice and injustice that possibly
could be a reason as to why WWE have
halted it also but we'll have to wait
and see on this one but I don't think
the storyline is completely dead so that
would be the update on on the moment
obviously we had the reference last
night on Monday Night Raw
the storyline isn't completely dead from
what I've heard it's on hold as to how
long they'll be on hold we don't know
and sometimes with these things we've
seen the short attention span that WWE
Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard tend to
have when it comes to these sort of
things so it's concerning that it's on
hold right now because they can just
lose interest very very quickly but the
storyline isn't dead as of yet once we
get confirmation as to the future of the
storyline of course we'll make a video
about it and we'll post it on social
media at Wrestle news at 365.com but
that's the very latest when it comes to
the SmackDown
call now could it be the WWE or raw
hacker in general we'll have to wait and
see but of course it's just one man's
opinion on the hacking storyline what is
your opinion on the hacking storyline is
it over is it finished who is the
Smackdown or raw hacker now is it mr.
Fraley is it chad gable or is it
something else will we see this gimmick
returned eventually let me know in the
