Mustafa Ali has just broken his silence regarding some reports saying he was around for AEW's All Out pay-per-view tonight. The star was previously with WWE and TNA.

Ali has been going around the independent circuit for some time now following his release from WWE almost a year ago. He has shown up on major promotions such as NJPW and TNA but he has never appeared for the Tony Khan-led promotion in any capacity. The star recently departed from TNA.

Reports ahead of All Out stated that Ali was spotted at the venue of the PPV. It was mentioned that he was only visiting as he lived in the area.

On X/Twitter, Mustafa Ali posted a short video containing some moments he spent with the fans who were around for AEW All Out tonight in the NOW Arena in Chicago. He mentioned that this was the next stop of his "campaign". This has been part of his gimmick post-WWE.

"Campaign Stop: #AEWAllOut @AEW Chicago, IL" Ali posted.

It remains to be seen whether Tony Khan will try to sign Ali in the near future.

Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
