#1 Backstage heat on WWE RAW Superstar Mustafa Ali?

Mustafa Ali is the leader of RETRIBUTION

Mustafa Ali made some controversial comments on RAW Talk following Legends Night. Ali criticized WWE for pushing legends who, in his words, could 'barely walk' over some of the current Superstars. Ali also mentioned how WWE is piping in crowd noise, which is being done by a lot of major sports right now.

According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, there are those in WWE who are unhappy with Ali mentioning that WWE are piping in crowd noise, although it’s pretty obvious that they are. Here’s what the report said:

"I had heard that there was someone who took exception to him making light that they pipe in stuff… I asked about this, I was like, 'What would anyone be mad at?' And they're like, 'Well he said that they piped in noise.' I said, 'They do!' And this person said, 'Yeah, but we don’t want them going out there and saying that.' I'm like, 'Why not? It's obvious. It's okay. Baseball does it. Football does it. Basketball does it. Don't treat us like we're stupid.'"
