Mustafa Ali has made quite a name for himself since he made his debut on the main roster. He has pinned Daniel Bryan in a tag team match and has challenged for the WWE Championship as well.

Ali was running hot and wild and the crowd was behind him since his days at 205 Live, but his run in the 2019 Royal Rumble is where he was noticed and received an enormous push. He was slated to contest for the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber but was pulled out due to an injury.

His bad luck gave birth to KofiMania. Kofi Kingston had a great showing in the Elimination Chamber match in February 2019. His performance earned him a shot at the WWE Title at WrestleMania. At Mania, Kingston beat Bryan to finally become a Grand Slam Champion in WWE.

Ali quickly gained his lost opportunity when he participated in the Money In The Bank match later that year. He was fingertips away from capturing the briefcase when Brock Lesnar surprised the WWE Universe and inserted himself into the match to win the briefcase and ensure a shot at the WWE Championship.

Ali has gone on the record and stated the plans he has for Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. I am all for Ali getting the push he deserves and maybe a title match someday soon but him coming out at number two wouldn't receive much of a pop.

It is highly likely that Lesnar would make quick work of Ali and eliminate him, taking away the chance for Ali to get the WWE Universe fired up for him once again.
