Mustafa Ali Opens Up About Having No Representation In WWE

Mustafa Ali had a lot of potential after debuting on the main roster a few years ago. Unfortunately, a slew of unfortunate injuries and bad booking would ruin all of that. Ali also opened up about having no representation in WWE.

Ali requested his release from WWE and made headlines for a long time after that. WWE would not grant his request and eventually, Ali found himself back on WWE television on Monday Night RAW.

While speaking with FOX 32 Chicago, Mustafa Ali talked about the lack of representation of people of color in the early days of WWE as he grew up.

“It is everything and it’s not meant to be a sappy story but growing up as a life long WWE fan. Even as a Muslim kid in America, I didn’t have someone. I had nobody. I didn’t have any representation. I didn’t have any good guy to cheer for. Anyone that looked like me or was on TV was a bad guy. They wished harm upon America like these stereotypical roles.”
