Ali can be the babyface that SmackDown Live needs
Every champion on SmackDown Live right now is a heel. Despite her popularity, Becky Lynch has more heel tendencies than babyface ones. Look at all the top stars who don't hold titles. Randy Orton, The Miz, Samoa Joe are all heels too.

Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Rusev and R-Truth are the only credible male babyfaces. In R-Truth's case, it may be a stretch to even make this claim. And because of this reason, SmackDown Live needs a top babyface that fans can all potentially buy into.
Enter Mustafa Ali, a babyface who can set the ring on fire with his incredible performances, almost every single week. He is a man that the crowd can get behind and root for.
