Mustafa Ali
Last year, between February and July, WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali wasn't used on TV at all.

Mustafa Ali has been leading RETRIBUTION on RAW since then. The faction isn't doing anything noteworthy at the moment, and many fans are speculating that the end is near for RETRIBUTION.
It would be interesting to see how WWE handles RETRIBUTION in the following weeks as we inch closer to WrestleMania.

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.
