Mustafa Ali is the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship, and he's going to Night Of Champions.
Ali was named the number one contender to Gunther's title after winning a battle royal on the May 15 episode of WWE Raw. Mustafa Ali outlasted Riddle, Ricochet, and Bronson Reed, who rounded out the final four competitors in the match.
To win the bout, Ali landed a dropkick on Reed, who was standing on the apron with Ricochet on his shoulders.
