5 possible candidates for a post-WrestleMania push

#3 Mustafa Ali

Ali's momentum suffered a hit last month.

As previously mentioned, Mustafa Ali joined the WWE's main roster from 205 Live a few months ago. He has taken SmackDown by storm and was in line for a huge push last month heading into Elimination Chamber. However, he got injured and had to be replaced from the match. Kofi Kingston took his spot and has been killing it in the main event scene to the point where he is one of the hottest acts in the company, heading into WrestleMania.

Ali did get a WWE title shot at Fastlane, but the crowd hijacked the match as they were promised Kofi Kingston. However, the brilliance of the former 205 Live star ended up winning the fans over. Right now, he is stuck in limbo, with no real plans for WrestleMania. After the Show of Shows, WWE must go back to Mustafa Ali and focus more on him. He is a gem, both in the ring and out of it. At least a mid-card title reign should be in his future.
