You know how WWE pushes a superstar for a while and then just gives up on him/her subsequently. They've apparently realised their folly and are going all the way with Mustafa Ali on SmackDown Live. Ali pinned the WWE Champion Daniel Bryan on last week's show. This week, he scored an impressive victory over Andrade 'Cien' Almas, in an exhibition singles match.
Ali could be just the babyface that the brand needs. He is incredible in the ring and has a vibe that draws you into his matches immediately. It's great to see WWE taking a chance with him.

This is not how we wanted to end 2018.. Time for me to go back to the drawing board because 2019 WILL NOT be the same. I made this change once, I can definitely do it again. The @WWE universe hasn’t even scratched the surface of seeing what @AndradeCienWWE can really do.
2019 will be the year for both men to break out and establish themselves as top tier superstars. In the case of both men, the future presents many opportunities to prosper and thrive, especially if they remain on SmackDown Live, going forward.
Let's hope they don't move to RAW anytime soon.
