As previously reported, Tori will in fact be the person behind Raven's get a way car. We saw Tori ambush Molly Holly on Monday night at WWF RAW is WAR. It looks as if when Tori is revealed as the driver, which shouldn't be for a couple of more weeks, that Molly Holly will feud with Tori upon her return. For the fans that never really got to see the real side of Tori, she was the LPWA Champion in the early 90's, then brought in as Kane/X-Pac's manager and turned into some sort of 'diva' - instead of a pro wrestler. There should be plenty of competition between the ladies in the WWF who are involved in the World Wrestling Federation Women's Championship title. [Mitch Newton]

02/08/01 Thursday Smackdown
In a Hardcore Championship match, Raven defended against Hardcore Holly, accompanied by Molly. Hardcore was able to pin Raven to become Hardcore Champion! As the match ended, Raven's mystery woman headed to the ring where she was headed off by Molly, who tried to unmask her! But thanks to Raven's help, the mystery woman knocked out Molly. The mystery woman then helped Raven to knock out Hardcore Holly and to regain the Hardcore Title, thanks to the 24-7 rule!  [wwf.com]

02/09/01 Internet Rumors
A rumor is going around stating Raven's driver won't be Tori and instead it is Francine of ECW. This news is worthless as of now, but it was a Japan promoter who stated so, so the justification of this is more than that of some unknown person making it up. WWF doesn't always like to go with the obvious and it's always able to change their plans as WCW did with Animal when originally it was to be Rick Steiner. If the WWF has picked up Francine or any word of such an act is let out, I would tend to think that Francine is the culprit. For now take this for what it's worth. [Matt Boone]

Currently, the top possibilities of Raven's mystery driver are Tori, Victoria, and Francine. Francine was Raven's manager when he was in ECW. We all know that they have great chemistry together, but it would have most likely been announced already if Francine had signed with the WWF. With that being said, Tori and Victoria are the top contenders, with Tori edging out the Godfathers former ho. [Paul Banker]

For those of you who are wondering about Raven's female mystery driver, Tori is the one playing the part. The WWF may switch her with another female once she is unmasked, so the news on Francine or another ECW woman being the woman right now is totally false. [Jonathan Siderman]

On a different note, Tori is the one playing the role of Raven's driver, but it might not turn out to be her. But as of right now, she is the one under the mask, playing the role until the WWF makes a decision. Sources are reporting that it is most likely to be her, but it could turn out to be someone else because the WWF has other plans for Tori, and this one does not fit her situation. [Randy Marsten]

02/12/01 Monday Night Raw
Before their match, Raven was hesitant about the Big Show being Essa Rios' partner. Angle assured his partner that he'd handle Rios, and Raven can handle the Big Show! The match began with Rios and Angle going toe-to-toe. While Angle distracted the Big Show outside of the ring, Raven pinned Rios for the win! Suddenly, that mysterious woman appeared with Raven's weapons in a shopping cart. Both Angle and Raven hammered the Big Show with a variety of weapons -- trash can and fire hydrant included -- but Show recovered and chokeslammed the Hardcore Champion! [wwf.com]

As the Big Show walked to the ring, he was attacked by the mysterious female ninja who has helped out Raven in recent weeks. Big Show went to attack the woman, but Raven ran up the ramp to meet his foe.

As the match began, a popcorn vendor came out from the crowd to attack Raven, and the vendor scored a two-count, taking advantage of the 24-7 rule! After the pinfall was broken up, the vendor -- revealed to be Crash -- continued his assault on the champ, as did Hardcore Holly, Steve Blackman and Billy Gunn! In fact, Billy Gunn pinned Raven to win the Hardcore Title!

But Billy didn't escape in time. The melee continued in the ring, and Raven soon regained his title from Billy Gunn! But still the match continued! Down to the ring ran the mystery woman, followed closely by Molly Holly! Moments after they were knocked from the ring, the Big Show gave Raven a huge chokeslam onto a trash can, winning the Hardcore Championship! [wwf.com]

In a match for the No. 1 contender spot for the Women's Title, Molly Holly and Lita faced off. The two women took it to each other in the ring, and Matt Hardy and Crash exchanged words on the outside.

As the referee was trying to break up a fight between Matt and Crash, Raven's mystery ninja came to the ring and attacked Molly! Lita then scored the pin for the win!

Later, Raven challenged Chris Jericho to the Intercontinental Title, but before the match, Raven said that since he had cemented his place as the greatest Hardcore Champion in history, he was expanding the Raven Effect to the Intercontinental Title. Y2J just told "Raisin" to shut the hell up! Raven took control of the match right away in high-paced action, but Jericho soon took over. Then, the ninja that has been helping Raven came to the ring and tried to hit Jericho with a two by four!

Molly Holly ran out and held back the woman, causing her to accidentally clobber Raven! After Jericho scored the pin, Molly tried to rip the mask off the women, but she and Raven escaped before her identity could be revealed. [wwf.com]

[wwf.com]

03/16/01 Internet Rumors
On Heat, Raven's mystery driver was finally revealed to the world. It is Tori. Currently, the WWF are unsure about how to use Tori. The feud with Molly Holly is likely to continue, but look for an explanation to be given by Tori herself, as to why she was disguising herself. [James Dylan]

Also remember that Tori’s guest starring appearance on "18 Wheels of Justice," will air March 28th at 11 pm EST on The National Network. [Richard Gray]

With Tori being revealed as the mystery ninja, expect her to explain why she aligned herself with Raven in the next couple of weeks (possibly even on Raw). It's speculated that the duo of Raven and Tori will face Crash and Molly at Wrestlemania X-Seven. [Samir Nurmohamed]

There is a rumor that Dean Malenko might face Crash Holly at WrestleMania for the WWF Light-Heavyweight Title. While it will most likely end up being Dean vs. Crash, other speculation has Tori & Raven vs. Crash & Molly at WrestleMania. After Tori was unmasked and revealed as the Ninja, I thought it made it a definite that those four would face off. [Justin Fritz]

04/20/01 Internet Rumor/News
Tori has now been absent from the WWF ever since she was revealed several weeks ago on Heat. Tori had previously been making appearances with Raven, but the reason why was not and still has not been given. Expect Tori to return shortly, to add strength to the women's division. When Tori's role has been finalized by WWF script writers, we are likely to be given an insight behind her recent actions. [James Dylan]

WebMaster's Note: Another lame/unfinished woman storyline laid on us by the WWF (The winner so far of lame/unfinished storylines of all time - WCW's Miss Hancock pregnancy). For almost two months we got "is it Tori or isn't it Tori" that is Raven's companion. Finally they reveal what everyone except the "marks" know and then we totally abandon the whole thing.

----- The WWF Divas in Hedonism video will now be released on DVD. The DVD will feature bonus Diva Matches along with a selection of exclusive Pictures from the Jamaican Shoot, which will only be found on the DVD. [Dafydd Denatale]

----- Tori is not expected back on WWF TV until the Tough Enough competition is over. She was unveiled as Raven's Ninja Woman but was promptly taken off of TV to run Tough Enough.

Recently, Tori was featured on Tough Enough, and was most recently seen on WWF TV playing the role as Raven's masked ninja has been released by the WWF. As I previously reported, Tori was featured on the finale of Tough Enough, and was later reported that she was indeed gone from the WWF.

Reportedly, Tori was asked by several WWF officials to head over to Ohio Valley Wrestling and work with some of the new women to work on her skills. Tori told officials that she doesn't believe she needs training. Tori is expected to wait out the rest of her contract and then will be officially done with the WWF. Tori will join Chyna and the rest of the superstars that were let go by the WWF. On a side note, Tori is not expected to join another wrestling promotion for the time being. [Sam Husary]
