#3 Mustafa Ali posts amusing tweet about Brock Lesnar being a WWE part-timer

Mustafa Ali was very close to winning the 2019 WWE Money In The Bank Ladder match at the namesake pay-per-view, but Brock Lesnar's surprise appearance squashed his dreams. The multi-man contest featured Mustafa Ali, Drew McIntyre, King Corbin, Andrade, Finn Balor, Randy Orton, and Ricochet. Sami Zayn was also a part of the outing, but was put down in a pre-match attack. Brock Lesnar came out during the final moments of the match, as Ali was about to retrieve the briefcase. Lesnar attacked Ali, climbed the ladder, and ended up winning the contract in a major surprise.

After the event, Ali had some harsh words for the former WWE Champion:

Sting in WWE once again? More details HERE

Look at the bright side, @brocklesnar climbing a ladder is the most wrestling he's done all year.

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.
