Mustafa Ali Responds To “Fan” Upset That AEW Wrestlers Can’t Answer His Open Challenge To Independent Wrestlers
Mustafa Ali captured the TNA International Championship at TNA Rebellion.
On social media, Ali issued an open challenge to all wrestlers on the independent scene. “Open challenge to independent wrestlers across the world, and the TNA roster can kiss my ass.”
A fan responded by bringing up TNA pulling talent booked against AEW wrestlers at an upcoming events.
“Rephrase that to open challenge to who TNA and WWE allow me to wrestle except no AEW affiliation,” said the fan.
Mustafa Ali responded, “Listen, I am not happy with how events unfolded. But you and other hoes trying to dunk on me for a decision not made by me and for actively trying to spotlight independent wrestlers? Get that passive aggressive bullshit out of here. Direct your frustrations at the people involved with the situation, not the fucking wrestler that has always gone out of his way to bring others up.”
