Wrestling Fans Are Rallying Around Mustafa Ali After His WWE Release Request

By Connor Casey - January 16, 2022 01:40 pm EST

Mustafa Ali took to Twitter on Sunday with a message announcing he had requested his release from the WWE. He wrote, "I have a message that is much bigger than my dreams in pro wrestling. Despite my best efforts, I will not be able to deliver this message while working with WWE. Therefore, I am requesting my release from WWE." Ali hadn't been on WWE television since late October and despite being in the WWE since 2016 never held a championship with the company. Yet, despite that, Ali had grown a passionate fanbase over the years and they all voiced their support upon hearing the news.

Where do you think Ali should go next? Check out some of the reactions below and let us know your thoughts down in the comments!

Mustafa Ali can be the face of a company. I've been saying that for at least three years.

Don't Buy In

I will not be buying any reports that Mustafa Ali was "difficult" or a "challenge to work with". No one within wrestling that has interacted with Ali, even briefly, will be able to say a bad word about him. He's truly one of the industry's best people.

Nothing But The Best

It is obvious not everyone can be a top star but for WWE to not have anything for someone as creative and as bright as Mustafa Ali is mind boggling.

That man is a star and I wish him nothing but the best.

Mustafa Ali requested his release from WWE. I’m shocked tbh, but I hope he’s good wherever he goes 🙏
