#2 Mustafa Ali becomes the new No.1 contender for WWE Championship

Mustafa Ali returned to this past week on SmackDown. After the match between Kevin Owens and Rowan ended in a disqualification following WWE Champion Daniel Bryan's interference, Ali came out to help Owens from a 2-on-1 beatdown by Bryan and Rowan.
Ali suffered an injury during a WWE live event last month, so he was also replaced in the WWE Title Elimination Chamber match by Kofi Kingston. Before getting injured, he was rumored to get the similar push that Kingston received following his performance in both the gauntlet match and even inside the chamber.
So, WWE was high on Ali and now that he has returned, its possible they resume his push to the main event picture. Although Kingston is rumored to face Bryan at WrestleMania, WWE could make Ali the new No.1 contender for the WWE Championship and let him face Bryan at the Show of Shows instead of Kingston.
