5 ways WWE can salvage RETRIBUTION

#2 Have Ali doing some of that hacker stuff to help RETRIBUTION out

Hacky McHackerson

For months before WrestleMania, well before we knew what a RETRIBUTION was, a mysterious hooded hacker was popping up on episodes of SmackDown. The most prominent act he perpetrated was exposing the plot that Dolph Ziggler and Sonya Deville were hatching against Otis of Heavy Machinery and Deville's partner Mandy Rose.

Then, as if someone hit a keystroke and launched a logic bomb and erased him from the mainframe, The Hacker went the way of Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace. At least until RETRIBUTION leader Mustafa Ali came out and told everybody it was him.

Granted, fans kind of already knew this, but it was a rare occurrence of WWE actually following up with continuity (which, if they would just do consistently would solve, like, 90% of their problems).

However, now fans are left with this master computer hacker leading RETRIBUTION, an army of supposedly disgruntled maniacs... maniacs who aren't exactly being what one would consider "successful."

And, yet, here you have a leader who apparently knows how to spoof ransomware on WWE servers by initiating a zero day threat using a Brute Force Attack on their Firewall, thus compromising their rootkit.

If you think one made all of that up by just stringing together a bunch of random hacking terms, well, you're right. But, apparently, Mustafa Ali can do that too.

And why shouldn't he? While everybody knows that hacking in movies and TV shows is horsehockey, it's still entertaining. Why not have Ali "hack" into the "systems" of the ThunderDome and cause distractions for RETRIBUTION?

Or, they can have him sniff out some compromising information about a rival and use it against them. All I'm saying is, the can of soda might be open but it's not flat yet, you might as well drink that thing.
