5 Superstars who left WWE fans stunned by joining a faction

#2 WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali is revealed as the leader of RETRIBUTION

Mustafa Ali had been a babyface throughout his WWE career, but it all changed recently on an episode of WWE RAW. On the October 5 edition of WWE RAW, Ali took on MVP in singles competition. Things suddenly took an interesting turn when Ali approached the RETRIBUTION members standing outside the ring. Ali then revealed that he had aligned with RETRIBUTION, and ordered the members to launch an attack on The Hurt Business, who were standing inside the ring.

Ali has consistently performed well on WWE TV for the past few years but never managed to catch that big break that would launch him to superstardom. It seems like Ali's chance has finally come, now that he is revealed as the leader of RETRIBUTION. The notorious group has been wreaking havoc on the WWE roster for a while now, and Mustafa Ali's addition could lead to a string of intriguing possibilities. If the latest rumors are to be believed, RETRIBUTION will have a major role to play at Survivor Series.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
