The Mustafa Ali World Tour Has Begun: Ex-Superstar Set for DEFY, PROGRESS, GCW & More

Mustafa Ali is no longer bound by his non-compete clause with WWE, and the former Superstar is ready to embark on a world wrestling tour. 

Ali was one of several Superstars released from WWE in September of this year. These cuts marked the first releases of talent following the launch of TKO Group Holdings. Before his release, there were plans for Ali to win the NXT North American Championship and his exit was a surprise to NXT head Shawn Michaels. 

The Mustafa Ali World Tour

Earlier this week, Ali teased big plans for his free agency and the former Superstar is certainly living up to the hype. Taking to Twitter, Ali shared a political campaign-inspired video, announcing that his ‘World Tour’ has begun. 

Following Ali’s campaign video, announcements flooded social media about the ex-Superstar’s future plans. Ali will be part of GCW’s No Compadre event on January 12, where he will face Gringo Loco. 

As the name suggests, Mustafa Ali’s World Tour won’t be confined to solely the United States. Ali will travel to Ottawa, Canada, on January 19, to compete for C4 Wrestling. 

Fans wanting to see Mustafa Ali in the United Kingdom won’t have to wait long at all. Ali will make his UK independent debut at PROGRESS Wrestling’s Light of the Dragon event on January 28.

Ali will also be stopping at DEFY Wrestling on his campaign trail. The Retribution leader will be part of an event with DEFY on February 9, in Seattle, Washington. 

Just one day after his appearance for DEFY, Ali will be a part of DREAMWAVE Wrestling’s ‘Run This Town’ event. Ali will challenge for the Dreamwave Alternative Title in a 4 Man Scramble that will include Penta El Zero Miedo, Gringo Loco, and champion El Hijo Del Vikingo. 

Mustafa Ali will also be part of Prestige Wrestling’s event on February 25. He will face ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey at the event that will include Tiger Mask, Jordynne Grace, and Mascara Dorada on the card.
