It looks as if Mustafa Ali‘s time with WWE has come to an end.
“I am [no] longer working with WWE. I look forward to the future,” Ali wrote on Twitter.
There was some confusion about Ali’s initial statement, as it said, “I am longer working with WWE.” Ali replied and confirmed his departure before apologizing for the confusion.
Mustafa Ali was scheduled to face Dominik Mysterio for the NXT North American Championship at NXT No Mercy on September 30.
Mustafa Ali first appeared in WWE when he was a participant in the Cruiserweight Classic in 2016. He signed a full-time contract with the company shortly after the tournament aired.
Ali spent time on 205 Live and SmackDown before he moved to RAW. He was part of the Retribution stable on the RAW brand, and went back to SmackDown after the stable disbanded.
He publicly requested his release in 2022, but it was not granted at that time. Once he returned to WWE after his request was denied, Ali challenged Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship and he was in the current program with Dominik for the North American title.
It is unclear for the reason for Ali’s departure this time.
