Mustafa Ali has been making huge strides in WWE ever since he was given the chance to face Daniel Bryan as part of SmackDown Live a few weeks ago, and it seems that the former 205 Live star even has the backing of Chairman Vince McMahon moving forward.

In case you didn't know...

Mustafa Ali has been a stand out star on 205 Live ever since the Cruiserweight Division was given the chance to be part of their own show, but recently he has been able to prove that he has the skills to make it on the main roster, since he stepped up his game and took the fight to the SmackDown Live brand.

Ali has the skills to make it to the highest level in WWE but he would need to be pushed by the officials backstage, many of whom he has already started to impress.

The heart of the matter

Mustafa Ali recently appeared as a guest on the Talk is Jericho podcast where he revealed that Vince McMahon himself recently gave him some helpful advice.

"Vince has always been very positive feedback. I actually met with him a few times to introduce myself and what I represent like, ‘Hey I just want to let you know that this is my background. This is what I think is cool. This is how I think the company can leverage me,’ so I’ve talked to him before, but this was the first time he gave me very specific direction on how he thought I could make money in WWE."

Ali went on to talk about how The Chairman then told him how he would be able to make his money in WWE.

"I came back and he gave me feedback about the promo and this and that and he goes, ‘The one thing I wish you would have changed – you’ve got to remember, a guy like you, you’re always fighting from under. You have this rare quality to get actual empathy from the crowd. That’s so hard nowadays. Nowadays people are whatever. I feel like you have the ability to make them go, ‘Man, he’s really taking a beating.’’ He goes, ‘That’s where you’re gonna make your money,’ and he’s kind of like pointing at my chest when he’s saying that. He goes, ‘That’s how you’re gonna make your money," he said via WrestleZone.

What's next?

Mustafa Ali is now an established member of the SmackDown locker room so he will continue to rise through the ranks and receive decent feedback from the boss.
