• Reason Behind WWE Changing Mustafa Ali’s Name
SmackDown Live wrestler Mustafa Ali is the latest wrestler whose name has been changed.
From this point on, he’ll only be known as “Ali”.
Below is what Ali tweeted about this name change:
Mustafa means the "chosen one" with an emphasis on being chosen from amongst the people.
Name or not, nothing has changed. I fight for the people. I am one of them.
— ALI / Adeel Alam (@AliWWE) March 26, 2019
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE officials changed Ali’s name because they felt the name “Mustafa” could hold him back from being completely supported by the crowd.
Ali now joins the following WWE wrestlers whose names were shortened:
– Luke Harper to Harper
– Erick Rowan to Rowan
– Elias Samson to Elias
– Adrian Neville to Neville (no longer in WWE)
– Alexander Rusev to Rusev
– Big E Langston to Big E
– Antonio Cesaro to Cesaro
– TJ Perkins to TJP (no longer in WWE)
– Andrade “Cien” Almas to Andrade
– Mustafa Ali to Ali
