Mustafa Ali Has Departed WWE

Mustafa Ali Has Departed WWE

Mustafa Ali, real name Adeel Alam, has announced via Twitter/X that he is no longer with WWE. Whether he was fired or granted his release is unclear; however, considering he was scheduled to challenge Dominik Mysterio for the NXT North America Championship at NXT No Mercy on September 30th, the timing is curious. Web Is Jericho will continue to follow this story for further updates.

37-year-old Ali had been with WWE since 2016, and while never pushed prominently as a star, he was always over with fans who appreciated his in-ring ability and mic skills. Nevertheless, it is known he was sometimes unhappy during his run, going as far as to request his release in January 2022 after Vince McMahon pitched him a gimmick that he felt was offensive and against his principles.
