Mustafa Ali had been doing pretty good since leaving WWE in 2023 and he also had a short run in TNA Wrestling where he won the TNA X-Division Championship one time. He is also active on the independent circuit and he has wrestled in many independent wrestling promotions. He is also working in the NJPW.
Despite not winning any championship in WWE, he earned recognition among the WWE fans. He was an excellent high-flyer and he could be an excellent fit for the mid card division of WWE any day. Ali was recently asked about a potential return to WWE by Chris Van Vliet on Insight where the former WWE star said;
Breaking: Mustafa Ali To Make His WWE Return Soon?
“I think there’s multiple paths, yeah. The thing is, there’s good relations there. The thing with them moving to Netflix is very interesting because it just opens up — I don’t know how much the show is gonna change as far as dynamic, as far as ratings, as far as what they’re okay with.”
“Business is so good for them, I do think there is a pathway back there. There’s good relations, there’s good contact there. Even the release was like very nice, a lot of nice messages were sent. At the end of the day, it’s on me, right? If I built something that’s profitable and something that they see, oh this plugs in. With wrestling, everything is right place, right time.
Mustafa Ali Left WWE in 2023
“It’s gotta be right for them, it’s gotta be right for me, it’s gonna be at the right time, it’s gotta be at the right place. When one person is here — If I want to go do this, it doesn’t fit. If they’re going a direction where there’s no spot for me, it doesn’t fit. It’s gotta be right place, right time. So here’s the right place, right time.”
Mustafa Ali is Presently Active on The Independent Circuit
It is still unknown to a lot of fans that Ali was actually supposed to beat Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship in 2018, but unfortunate for him, Kofi Kingston replaced him during the time and this time period is famously known as KofiMania. Ali was handpicked by Daniel Bryan but his luck was not in his favour.
WWE also had other cool ideas for him but nothing actually worked for him. He was supposed to be in the Smackdown Hacker storyline which could not see daylight either. The pitch of Retribution did not seem bad at first either, but much like every time, things did not go in Mustafa Ali’s favor again.
