The recent regaining of his first name coupled with his appearance on the CBS Evening News could signify that WWE has come to the realization that they have struck gold with Mustafa Ali. The former cop has formed a deep connection with the WWE universe in a relatively short amount of time. Not to mention that he makes a political statement with his ties to the Muslim religion.
Perhaps Mustafa Ali could ultimately end The Fiend’s Universal title reign. If this were to come to fruition, WWE would have succeeded at two different things:
- Successful elevation of The Fiend, and
- A brand-new top star would be created in Ali, which is something WWE has struggled with in recent years.
