Mustafa Ali’s comeback in WWE
When Mustafa Ali was out of the ring in early 2019 due to an injury, WWE started airing vignettes of a mysterious hacker on SmackDown who was believed to be him. That storyline was dropped soon.
Ali recently came back to WWE RAW and joined the team of Cedric Alexander, Apollo Crews, and Ricochet to feud against The Hurt Business. Cedric Alexander has changed sides since and joined The Hurt Business a few weeks ago.
On this Monday’s episode of RAW, Ali was facing off against MVP of The Hurt Business when RETRIBUTION appeared and surrounded the stage in their typical manner. Ali initially seemed to have aligned with The Hurt Business to fight off the rogue faction. But soon he walked off the ring to confront Mace and T-Bar of RETRUBUTION.
Soon it was revealed that it was Ali who was leading the group all along, when he ordered them to attack The Hurt Business.
Lights out, @WWE. pic.twitter.com/4C0sNuvLN1
