5 Culprits Who Could Be WWE SmackDown's Truth-Telling Glitch Hacker

1. Mustafa Ali

There's a reason why Mustafa Ali is the firm favourite to land the gig.

Look at the symbol on his right hand in the pic above - it's similar to the ring symbols that have shown up during the hacker's segments on SmackDown. That blue lighting is the same, and Ali was shown in pre-taped vignettes, talking about being a saviour to the freedoms of people worldwide, for months.

It'd be a surprise if WWE didn't run with this as Mustafa's next character. Everything fits, and he's already shown himself to be a more-than-capable promo man who can deliver realistic, serious dialogue. After listening to the Mandy Rose/Sonya Deville/Otis/Dolph Ziggler revelation from this week's SmackDown repeatedly, this writer believes Ali is the man.

The hacker's voice does share the same cadence as Ali, and this would make total sense.

WWE's next hurdle will be ensuring they can make the storyline interesting once the hooded figure is exposed. This deserves to be more than a few weeks of fun.
