Prediction : He will be released before December. That’s possible. Didn’t something similar happen with Brodie? Requested his release publicly, it wasn’t granted, eventually he was called back to TV and joined Bryan’s stable for a bit and then was released later on. I think you're thinking of Rowan. And Rowan never asked for his release.

Which was the fun period of time of going "Yay! They're back and as the team people liked them as and not the hammer-wielding guys!" and then they got separated in the draft because we can't have nice things for too long.

Well, he’s actually back. As a babyface too, at least at this stage.
I wonder what changed in the whole situation? Because it seemed like neither Vince or Ali were likely to budge from their stances that led to Ali wanting out, but someone did.

With you forgetting to put a coma between Bryan Harper I misread that as Bryce Harper and was thinking maybe I misremembered the reigning National League MVP being a member of the Wyatt Family.

Because it seemed like neither Vince or Ali were likely to budge from their stances that led to Ali wanting out, but someone did. If it is true that Balor is on his way out (he's not re-signing with WWE is the rumor), Vince needs midcard babyfaces desperately to compensate, and isn't in the position anymore to play games with their booking. If Ali wants to be a babyface, then he gets to stay babyface.

Comes back and immediately apparently has three feuds going at once.

Looked up the return and really wish they'd have either reverted to his old theme or given him a new one. His Retribution one isn't bad but it's very generic.

Feels like he's in the "Daniel Bryan role" right now. By that I mean he's that guy who's on the smaller side who can go in the ring, can cut promos and do what you need him to do but you don't wanna push him to be a super lead guy. Granted, Bryan forced his way there at different times but ultimately they wanted him to be a smaller guy who can elevate others. Basically, he was a "face Miz" with a different skillset and build.
Ali's here for this Theory thing and then he'll move onto helping someone else.

Even the commentators didn't seem to know whose theme it was, since their reaction was kind of, "Who the... Oh, hey!" rather than the, "Wait... Could it be..." you'd expect. I think I'd only recognize it because of 2K22... and even then I used the NPC Ali to give him his old theme first chance I got.

Is Ali the only one to get their name back during this Rename Era, other than Chad Gable?

He'll go into a fire Ciampa feud afterwards though. Like for me as long as he's in dope feuds with amazing matches I'm good.

I'm of no opinion regarding Ali, but I thought the segment was bad. Just really bad. Bad lines badly delivered from all three of'em, but Ali's babyface energy? I didn't feel it. His smirk was smug, his voice shaky (although he's a confident talker), his little mockings stiff. Not seeing myself becoming a fan.
