Mustafa Ali made waves last year when he bid farewell to WWE, opting to pursue his career elsewhere. Since then, he’s risen to prominence as the TNA X-Division Champion. Now, with WWE and TNA reigniting their collaboration, talks of Ali’s potential return to WWE have surfaced.
The recent partnership between TNA and WWE gained momentum with TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace making her NXT debut last month and even stepping into the ring at NXT Battleground just last week.
According to reports from Fightful Select, discussions within NXT have been optimistic about the possibility of former TNA talents, particularly Mustafa Ali, exploring crossover opportunities.
It’s widely known within NXT circles that Shawn Michaels held Mustafa Ali in high regard before his departure from WWE, with significant plans in the pipeline for him. However, insiders suggest that any potential return for Ali to NXT would need to align with his preferences, though specifics remain undisclosed.
It’s important to note, as confirmed by Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, that Mustafa Ali isn’t currently under contract with TNA, meaning any future appearances would be independent of NXT or TNA affiliations.
Previously, Ali teased a crossover match with Cedric Alexander for the X-Division Championship, sparking excitement among fans eager to see him back on WWE television.
