In a shocking turn of events, former WWE superstar Mustafa Ali has been making waves in the independent wrestling scene, boasting an undefeated record of 37-0. This comes after his highly publicized release from WWE in September 2023, a move that marked the biggest roster change since the takeover by TKO.
Ali’s recent stint in TNA Impact saw him participate in a star-studded 16-man tag team match, where he unexpectedly withdrew from the match, claiming that his undefeated record remained intact. The post-match drama unfolded on Instagram, where Ali proudly displayed his X Division Championship belt, accompanied by a bold statement: “37-0.”
The wrestling world was abuzz with the news, as fans and critics alike wondered if Ali’s confidence was justified. The answer lies in his impressive track record, which includes winning the TNA X Division Championship on February 23, 2024, at No Surrender – his debut match in the promotion, no less.
Ali’s journey to the top began in December 2023, when he entered the independent wrestling scene after parting ways with WWE. Adopting the gimmick of a wrestling politician, he has made appearances in several promotions, including NJPW, TNA, and Game Changer Wrestling.
In an interview on The Busted Open Podcast, Ali opened up about his WWE exit, stating that he believes he had done everything he could in the Stamford-based company. Despite being released, Ali remains optimistic, saying that he is happier now than ever before.
As Ali continues to dominate the independent scene, fans are left wondering: could he follow in the footsteps of Cody Rhodes, who built himself up in the independent scene before returning to WWE as a globally celebrated warrior? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Mustafa Ali is on a mission to prove himself as a force to be reckoned with in professional wrestling.
