Mr. McMahon abused his authority on last week's SmackDown by taking away Kofi's shot at the WWE title. Tonight, Mustafa Ali got to showcase his skills by being added to the big match at the very last moment.
This irked the fans even more, as the fans were clearly pissed off at Kofi Kingston being excluded from the match. The triple threat match at Fastlane was met with a chorus of boos on multiple occasions, especially during the early moments of the match. WWE is starving the fans long enough that when Kofi Kingston finally wins the big one at WrestleMania 35, the moment will be met with a loud roar from the 80,000 fans in the stadium.

Kofi will surely get his chance at Mania, and his exclusion from tonight's match did nothing but help his cause going forward. As an added bonus, Ali got to show the fans that he is the future of the blue brand.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
