So the hacker on smackdown is CM Punk

[avon barksdale]

As you can see below, the video is similar to the one that aired on Friday Night SmackDown. The passcode numbers are the date for Sunday’s Money In The Bank pay-per-view and the coordinates are for the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

These hints would suggest that the hacker will somehow get involved in one of the matches at the pay-per-view. WWE will be airing the PC matches live and the ladder matches were taped several weeks ago at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, CT.



Another interesting thing to note is that the tweet (seen below), also includes the following words written upside down: “do i have everybody’s attention now?”

We’ll see if this is just a red herring but that is a line used by CM Punk several years ago when he was an active member of the WWE roster.

On a side note, if you are wondering why the Backstage panel did not react to the hacker video that interrupted them, it’s because Backstage was taped and the hacker video was added in post-production. Check it out below.

Sounds like the exact kind of petty shyt Vince would do if he was pushed (likely by Fox) to have Punk appear on WWE television but wanted to sabotage it as best he could. Put it in front of no fans who will pop or chant, and then put it in a trash angle.

That being said, I doubt it's him.

If it were, best case scenario it's an updated version of the RAW laptop GM but with a face running it where the 'hack' screws the heels over and works to the 'good' of the show. But really, it's probably just gonna be Ali working the same trash hacker gimmick they tried to give Callihan back in NXT.

I think it’s Punk. Ali isn’t over and never will be.

If its ali it'll be D.O.A

Punk returning to an empty crowd would suck but that's the life we live now. shyt may be like this for the foreseeable future.

The streets need that punk return in front of Chicago tho

[Tres Leches]

Remember when they were doing the same thing with the anonymous general manager?

It's gonna be Hornswoggle again. Don't get your hopes high.

For me, theres no hate on him. It's up to the point where a lot of people seem to think its him , so if it actually is revealed to be him its gonna be like "who cares"
