He then revealed that he was the SmackDown hacker by highlighting what he could do with just a computer and a table. This proved that he was indeed the mystery man, which was also our consensus all along.
A lot of fans assumed that WWE had dropped the entire storyline due to the pandemic. There were plans to make a big reveal on WWE about the hacker which did not materialise. WWE held out to have an audience back which simply did not happen.
All ends have now been tied perfectly as Mustafa Ali confirmed that it was him all along. This is the perfect example of long-term storytelling in WWE. It shows that plans for Retribution were in the making for a long time.
Mustafa Ali fits in perfectly with Retribution’s theme
Retribution, according to the storyline, is a group of WWE rejects. They have all been rejected by the writers and have been told that there is no place for them in the company.

This is why they have now become a renegade group dead-set on revenge. Mustafa Ali is the best man to be put in the forefront of this entire thing.

Ali has been thrown around ever since his main roster debut. WWE did not really give him a push on SmackDown. He was then transferred to Raw and later competed on WWE Main Event, which confirmed that there was no other place for him to go.

Ali seeks to bring down the entire system and prove to the world that WWE made a mistake taking them lightly. Retribution is sure to come back stronger than ever, and not even “The Fiend” will be able to keep them at bay.
