Mustafa Ali believes there are multiple paths for him to return to WWE.
Since being released from WWE in September 2023, Mustafa Ali has been tearing through the world of wrestling, dominating TNA and the independent scene throughout 2024.
Following his X-Division Championship run, Ali departed from TNA, leaving many fans to speculate about the possibility of a possible return to WWE. Now, Ali is answering those questions, noting that he believes there are multiple paths for him to make a return to WWE in the future.
“I think there’s multiple paths, yeah. Ali said while speaking to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. "The thing is, there’s good relations there. The thing with them moving to Netflix is very interesting because it just opens up — I don’t know how much the show is gonna change as far as dynamic, as far as ratings, as far as what they’re okay with.”
Ali went on to say that it's up to him for build something that is profitable and something that will plug into the WWE system.
“Business is so good for them, I do think there is a pathway back there. There’s good relations, there’s good contact there. Even the release was like very nice, a lot of nice messages were sent. At the end of the day, it’s on me, right? If I built something that’s profitable and something that they see, oh this plugs in. With wrestling, everything is right place, right time. It’s gotta be right for them, it’s gotta be right for me, it’s gonna be at the right time, it’s gotta be at the right place. When one person is here — If I want to go do this, it doesn’t fit. If they're going a direction where there’s no spot for me, it doesn’t fit. It’s gotta be right place, right time. So here’s the right place, right time.”
