5 RAW and SmackDown Superstars who should move to NXT after WrestleMania

#3 Mustafa Ali

Can Ali light up the dark side of NXT?

While many Superstars have to go through several layers to reach the top, it took Mustafa Ali some time in 205 Live followed by a top rivalry with then-WWE Champion Daniel Bryan to become one of the biggest new talents in the company.

Ali made his SmackDown debut in late 2018, and he spent a major time of early 2019 aiming for the top. At one point, it seemed like he’d even end up becoming the WWE Champion, but an unfortunate injury pulled him back.

Slowly Ali fell to the mid-card and disappeared altogether to the utter disappointment of the fans. In fact, Ali hasn’t had a single televised match in 2020 which comes as a major shock to many fans, and he wasn’t part of the 30-man Royal Rumble this year either.

SmackDown has a loaded card at the moment, and it is getting difficult for the creatives to give all Superstars a chance to perform every week. Therefore, we could watch Ali push to move to NXT where someone like him could really shine and even become the NXT North American Champion or NXT Champion.

Ali is an incredible athlete and he could provide light to the dark NXT brand by taking on men like Johnny Gargano, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, and Damian Priest in some excellent matches.
