Mustafa Ali is coming to New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Former WWE star Mustafa Ali appeared in a video message at NJPW Battle in the Valley. He announced that he was bringing his “campaign” to NJPW. He then called out Hiromu Takahashi and challenged him to a match at NJPW Windy City Riot on April 12.
WWE released Ali in a wave of cuts on September 21. He has since started his “campaign”, in which the fan-favorite will travel the wrestling world and work with various companies. Ali has already competed for GCW, and he is set to wrestle for DEFY and other promotions in the coming weeks.
Update: Takahashi took to Twitter and seemingly accepted the challenge.
NJPW subsequently confirmed the match for NJPW Windy City Riot on April 12.
