Shortly after Ali shared the tweet, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful contacted WWE and was told the following about Ali's tweet:

"I'm told by WWE that Mustafa Ali saying he's no longer working with WWE is not due to any broader talent cuts."

Ali's run in the company lasted about seven years. He made his debut back in 2016 and immediately impressed fans with his high-flying skills. Despite being incredibly popular among fans, Ali wasn't heavily pushed at any point during his run, and he never won a title belt.

Ali's stint saw him taking on some of the most popular names in the company, including Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, and Riddle. Ali is one of the most talented stars in the wrestling business today. Many of his fans would love to see him sign with AEW in the near future. Only time will tell what's next for the talented high-flyer.

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.
