Mustafa Ali is back on WWE TV.
Though he was drafted to SmackDown in October 2019, Ali is now part of Raw. No explanation was given. Ali was the mystery third man alongside Ricochet and Cedric Alexander as they battled MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin.
Benjamin officially joined MVP and Lashley in The Hurt Business earlier in the night with MVP helping him win the 24/7 Title from R-Truth.

Ali hadn't wrestled on television since December 13, 2019 when he teamed with Shorty G in a loss against The Revival (FTR in AEW). He did appear on live events and worked dark matches through February. He was reportedly set to be the SmackDown hacker, but the angle has seemingly been dropped without an explanation.
