Bianca Belair just faced a big twist, so we’ll see what’s going on there.
We’ll also check out the latest for Randy Orton, the WWE Hacker, and much more
Lets start things off with Bianca Belair
Bianca is officially the longest reigning Raw women’s champion of all time and the
longest reigning women’s champion of the modern era
So similar to Roman Reigns, it’s getting hard to find fresh matchups with new threatening
challengers for her
Well WWE created a fresh matchup by using one of her old rivals
Earlier in the week before the May 12th edition of Smackdown, there was a report going around
that a pitch had been made for Aus-ka to turn heel
And just a few days later, everything that was listed on that report came true
Aus-ka came out during Bianca Belair’s title celebration to apparently shake her hand and
congratulate her, but it didn’t take long for Aus-ka to spit the mist in Bianca’s
face, officially marking the beginning of Aus-ka’s new heel turn
A lot of fans were confused by this and asked if Aus-ka was already a heel or not
Well when Aus-ka returned with the new look and face paint, she was a bit more edgier,
but she was still more of a tweener, right in-between being a heel and face
But now with this may 12th moment, Aus-ka is no longer in between and has officially
picked a side, she will now be a complete heel going forward
Not only will Aus-ka be just any heel on the Smackdown women’s roster, but according
to a report from PW-Insider, Aus-ka is internally listed as the top heel in the Smackdown women’s
roster, even above Bayley
So that fact is giving fans high hopes and expectations for this heel run from Aus-ka
Have we seen a heel run from Aus-ka in years past?
Yes, technically we have, in a very similar way as well
Aus-ka turned heel several years ago by spitting mist in the face of Paige with Kyrie Sane
But that was more of a tag team heel turn, so we technically haven’t seen what a full
solo heel run could look like for Aus-ka
So it creates an interesting dynamic and matchup for Bianca Belair
Yes, she just defeated Aus-ka at Wrestlemania, but now she has to face a heel version of
Aus-ka that could lots of tricks up her sleeve
Aus-ka is already a handful for anyone she steps foot in the ring with her just based
off her pure skill and abilities, but you now throw in the mist and other cheating tactics
and it’s gonna be difficult to get passed her
So be on that lookout for this new matchup between Aus-ka and Bianca Belair
But speaking on Bianca Belair, let’s quickly go over the rumor and twist that could be
coming for the women’s titles
During the WWE Draft, WWE traded their two women’s champions to opposite brands
The Raw champion went to Smackdown, and the Smackdown champion went to Raw
And with the draft now being in full effect, WWE is not really acknowledging the fact that
both brands are in possession of the wrong women’s title and it feels weird and awkward
to see
Last time this happened, there was a title swap between both champions, but it doesn’t
look like they’ll be doing that this time around
Which has fans extremely suspicious that new women’s titles could be on the way in the
near future and that’s why they didn’t title swap
So that’s a theory and rumor that fans are really holding onto right now
They think it’s only a matter of time before two new womens world titles are revealed and
the branding label for both women’s titles will be dropped
And if that happens then it makes sense why there was no title swap, Rhea Ripley and Bianca
Belair don’t have to trade titles, they both keep their respective title that they
rightfully won, the only thing changing is the brand label of “Raw” and “Smackdown”
from the name of the titles
Maybe something as simple as one title being labeled the WWE women’s championship and
the other being labeled the World women’s championship
So that’s something that a lot of fans are very suspicious of right now, either a title
name change or completely new titles in general could be coming to the women’s division
—————————————
Randy Orton has now officially been out of action for one complete year and his status
still remains a mystery
He had back surgery in late 2022 and there’s been nothing, but mixed reports and mixed
rumors about his status
There was even one rumor that the procedure Randy Orton had was very similar to a procedure
Shawn Michaels had that took Shawn several years to return from
So there were just so many rumors such as that one
But now there’s some pretty solid info from Randy Orton’s father himself, Bob Orton
Bob recently spoke with wrestle binge and he was asked for an update on his son Randy
Orton, he had this to say about that topic, quote:
“He’s training, so we’ll see what happens.
I don’t know if he feels like going back or he feels like he’s ready to go back.
I think he might.
Then again, he’s pretty well taken care of, I don’t think he needs to and I think
the doctors have told him not to.
But Randy will do what Randy is gonna do.”
End quote
And this was pretty devastating news to hear for all fans
It sounds like Randy’s family and even his doctors are pushing for him to permanently
hang up his boots.
He has nothing left to prove, he already has a Hall Of Fame worthy career and how it’s
time to properly protect his body from any further harm, especially when one of his most
popular moves includes him falling on that surgically repaired back
But like Bob Orton said, at the end of the day, Randy Orton will do whatever he wants
to do
A few years before Randy went down in 2022, he did say that his intentions were to wrestle
into his late forties
Now obviously that was his intentions before the major injury and procedure, so maybe he
mind space on retirement is much different now, it’s hard to tell
But it looks like Randy Orton’s doctors are officially advising against any physical
return to the ring for the future Hall Of Fame superstar

The WWE Hacker ended up being short lived, but during the time that he was around, it
was a very intriguing character and story
The WWE Hacker made his presence known by hijacking several live Smackdown broadcasts
with his message and warning
He would later officially make his presence felt in the Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville storyline,
by showing Mandy backstage footage of how Sonya was lying and doing all of these evil
things that a friend would never do behind someone’s back
The WWE Hacker threaten to expose more WWE superstars who were being dishonest and lying
to those that were close to them, but unfortunately, it looks like they ran out of ideas and the
character was instantly gone
And then nearly a whole year later, they did a quick five second reveal on Raw where Ali
confessed to being the hacker, finally giving some closure to the abandoned storyline
Well Ali recently spoke with SportsKeeda and revealed that the Hacker character was actually
something he pitched, but he didn’t know he was gonna be behind the persona on WWE
television, he had this to say about that, quote:
"I wasn't told that I was being the hacker.
The hacker was another concept of mine that I had presented while sitting at home.
Again, with this industry sometimes it's about you, sometimes it's not, and I was doing the
light-up character, the light-up mask, the light-up look, and it was another thing where
I think the powers that be, or the creative team in the process, didn't see the layers
of that character.
It was just the underdog good guy.”
End quote
And the Hacker character and story was a great concept by Ali, it’s really unfortunate
that it’s run was so short because it did provide a lot of good mystery, intrigue, and
fun fan theories
