Mustafa Ali update

Many fans were expecting and subsequently disappointed to not see Mustafa Ali in front of his hometown crowd of Chicago for Smackdown Friday.

Not only was Mustafa Ali not on this past week's show, he wasn't filmed for anything for the Christmas Eve edition and wasn't physically at the show. We're told that while he asked off for a couple of weeks for paternity leave, that amount of time had already passed and it appears that there just wasn't anything planned for him for the Chicago shows. We've also learned that WWE sent Ali home early for paternity leave, and he's not been on the road since before Survivor Series.

Imagine not having anything for Mustafa Ali…

Kofi and Mustafa both welcomed their third child, respectively, within the same week of each other. And yet Kofi is the one to return to wrestling. While Mustafa has to figure out yet another gimmick.

Mustafa is one of the few WWE guys I really care about still. This sucks.

Aidan O’Donnell

At this point I can’t imagine risking taking any time off if I’m in WWE for anything minor. Too many times a month off turns into 6-8 months because they can’t be bothered to remember who is available to them unless they are actively on TV.

with wwe seems like out of sight, out of mind

Give this man a platform to create his vision and i promise it’ll be a masterpiece. WWE doesn’t know how to properly utilize guys like him.

he is so so talented. He deserves so much more than that.

Neeka Rose

Ali is so talented. Shame he isn’t utilized to his potential

Brian Bayless

This doesn’t sound good. I really don’t get how they can’t find a character to land on with him or find ways to use him. It’s a shame.

Amber

At least he gets to be at home with his new family

Brian The Dean

Sigh.
