Something will click into place Another loss Can’t wait for someone to invent the wrestling match where nobody has to lose, this will solve SO MUCH SHIT. Every match ends in a Dusty Finish. First one guys wins, then the other guy wins. Problem solved.

Not booking him like a total loser would help too, and that's literally how he is booked, that's what his storyline is with Ziggler, they're both losers... It would help. But unless he strings together like 20 wins a row, people will jump ship at the first sign of trouble. (This was his 200th televised match in WWE too ) Just booking him as a threat would go a super long way tbh, he hasn't been that since his run right before he got hurt and Kofi took his spot at the Chamber and well... rest is history I'm very curious what his W/L record is, I wanna say his first 100 matches he had a pretty nice record but the next 100 haven't been as pretty...

If it feels like it should be lower, keep in mind that a lot of the wins came from 205 Live in the beginning of his run and Main Event in recent years.

I definitely figured that... the RAW and Smackdown records can't be pleasant to look at...

Give him the US title.
"But he's not overrrr". Oh yeah, historically something that's stopped WWE from putting a title on a midcard act: how over they were.
If you want the audience to care, you often need to demonstrate that you give a shit first. WWE have not consistently done that with Ali. Keep grinding, then people care.

This version of Ali as US Champ would be entertaining.

Dude was one of the only people that tried to get Retribution over in any capacity... it's a shame that literally none of the stuff he posted online was ever brought up on TV
Ali seems to put his all into everything he does and basically has never gotten any kind of reward for it.

If Vince was still around, Mustapha Ali, lounge singer, would have debuted last night...

Problem solved. You basically just described WWE's 50/50 booking over the last 20 years. Which is the reason only a handful of people have gotten over in that time. And those were the guys that were booked to win every time. Cena, Roman, Brock, etc.

Orlando Jordan had a 6-month U.S. Title reign and nobody ever gave two shits about him. Dude came out with the belt for 6 months to the sound of footsteps going up concrete/metal stairs. Fans going to take a piss or grab a beer.

Better than Dijak NXT booking that's for sure I won't tolerate any Dijak slander. That character is hilarious.

Are Ali and Dolph really feuding over who's the bigger loser? Legit asking because this sounds hilarious. I hope they Feud for months and every match ends with Brock, Lashley or some other monster coming out and destroying both of them with no winner. Or Bray comes out and does his spooky hocus pocus B.S. and both guys end up laid out.

Ali, Reckoning's mask (when it stayed on her face) and the entrance theme were the only good things about Retribution.
