If he's finally got the freedom from WWE he (and others) have wanted, let's see what he does with it.

I'm not a Twitter/X guy, but does his handle still showing @aliwwe give any weight to it being a work? No, those take a long time to be changed. And considering the guy in charge over there, good luck expecting a response when trying to change your handle or account lol

Mustafa Ali is going to be one of the biggest "what if's" the company's had in the last decade. Dude was marching towards a big Mania moment before he got hurt and Kofimania ran wild. He wasn’t planned to be fighting for the world title at Mania. It was going to be Bryan vs. Owens. Even still, the dude was in a far better position than he was when he got back.

Twitter handles took awhile to get changed even when it wasn't under the stewardship of an incompetent manchild. So yeah, I wouldn't say that's proof of it being a work or not.

I think he’d be great in Impact honestly…
Alex Shelley vs Ali would make me tune in…

This is really weird, because he was booked for NXT No Mercy, usually they write these guys off when before their contract expires (Grizzled Young Veterans, Kyle O'Reilly, etc), but he was just on NXT a couple days ago, so i wonder if he got released, i wonder if they're now granting releases to people that want him or if they're gonna start releasing people

Part of me wonders if he heard he was going to just be another body for Dom to beat at No Mercy and that was enough of a sign for him that it was time to walk.

Mustafa Ali leaves WWE with a career televised win/loss record of 97-112-6 (45.12%) from 2016 to 2023. Tell ‘em what he won, EoE!
…Nothing. Unless circumstances change, Ali will be one of the longest tenured wrestlers in recent WWE history to have never won any championship belt. Not even a 24/7 run in the pocket.

So right now, it seems like something he requested and TKO were happy to do because they needed to cut people anyway.

There should be a trade.
AEW gets Mustafa Ali.
WWE gets Griff Garrison.

Bryan Danielson will be telling TK to sign him straight away, I remember it being said that he was a big fan of his.

If it's not Mass Releases, Then i'm gonna take a guess and say that they are gonna grant releases to the people that want them now

Holy shit. Guys, reread the tweet. "I am longer working with the WWE." Maybe he signed a new deal? I totally read that wrong at first. Wow, nice catch. Although I still think he meant to write "no longer" but forgot the word "no." This is like one of those optical illusion puzzles where you're told to "read that sentence again."

Maybe this is a work if SRS deleted the tweet?
