Big Plans For Mustafa Ali Before His Release From WWE NXT
Prior to Mustafa Ali’s release from WWE NXT two weeks ago, there were major plans in place for the 37-year-old. According to Fightful Select, Ali was scheduled to be crowned NXT North American Champion at the No Mercy premium live event. Instead, Trick Williams emerged the victor, taking the title from the devious Dominik Mysterio.
Different Booking Scenario
The report suggests that the booking was meant to be a bit different. Dominik was still set to defend the NXT North American title against Dragon Lee on the September 25th edition of Raw, but Ali would have interfered, allowing Dominik to retain. This would have led to a triple-threat match between Dominik, Ali, and Lee at No Mercy, with Ali as the predicted winner.
Conclusion
At this point, the future of Mustafa Ali in pro-wrestling remains uncertain. It is unclear where he may take his talents next, but his release from WWE NXT has certainly thrown a wrench in the original plans.
