#4. Did Shorty G's appearance indirectly confirm the Mystery Hacker's identity?

Shorty G is back in the mix! In the second backstage segment, he was a part of the discussion where Superstars like King Corbin and Sheamus were arguing about possibly getting back in the mix and replacing Jeff Hardy to face Daniel Bryan in the Intercontinental Championship tournament on SmackDown.

Interestingly, Jey Uso put his name in the hat as well. All the Superstars present would have to earn that spot in a Battle Royal, all while AJ Styles opted to directly reach the finals (a request that was granted). That Battle Royal was won by Sheamus, but later on, Shorty G and Cesaro had a backstage altercation, with The Swiss Superman making jokes about his height and overall size as usual.

It ended with Shorty G getting a big win over Cesaro, seemingly dispelling the rumors of him being the SmackDown hacker. With that, it appears as though WWE indirectly confirmed that Mustafa Ali is the man behind the hacker gimmick on SmackDown. It's certainly not a bad choice or spot for Ali!
