Ali On WWE Dropping “Mustafa” From His Name

It was previously reported that WWE has dropped The “Mustafa” from Mustafa Ali’s name. The change was also made to his SmackDown LIVE roster page as well as his Twitter ID as his new Twitter handle is now @AliWWE.
Ali would then take to Twitter during last Monday night’s episode of RAW and issue his first public comments since the name change. Ali said that “Mustafa” means “the chosen one” and name or not, nothing has changed.
He wrote, “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.”
