3 possible road-maps for Mustafa Ali on WWE SmackDown Live
Mustafa Ali is the latest wrestler to join the SmackDown brand, and he had an excellent run in the 205 Division. Ali's inclusion on SmackDown has raised speculation in the WWE Universe.
He is a young superstar who has talent and potential. If WWE uses him properly and correctly, he could become the next larger than life superstar in the company.
Even though WWE has not categorically revealed the future of Ali on SmackDown, it is expected that he will be getting enough push, and will create and break many records in WWE.
So here are three possible ways to build his on-screen character, which will be beneficial to Ali and WWE.
#3 Feud with Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy is a living legend who has accomplished almost everything in the WWE. However, he has never faced someone like Mustafa Ali in his career. This could be one of the best rivalries to happen in WWE.
Ali vs Hardy could be a main event worthy match, as these two high flyers can deliver extreme action.
Working against Jeff Hardy would be a learning experience for Mustafa Ali. Both these wrestlers would be instrumental in getting the best out of one another. Ali and Hardy can headline PPVs, and they both can build strong and entertaining story-lines.
Their rivalry would be a blend of action & drama, and should be cherished by millions of fans across the globe.
This is a rivalry the creative team and management of WWE should invest upon. It would be good for business, as both Ali and WWE would gain from this rivalry.
#2 United States Champion
The US title is a secondary championship on SmackDown. The present US Champion is Rusev. He won it against Shinsuke Nakamura, and has a huge fan following just like Mustafa Ali.
Since Ali has not won any championship in WWE, it would be a good opening for him if he wins the US Championship.
While Rusev possesses a gigantic physique, Ali on the other hand is all about agility and athleticism. The WWE Universe would love to see competition between Mustafa Ali and Rusev for the title.
Ali as the US Champion would be a treat to watch. He is entertaining, and could be a TRP booster as well. Ali could certainly kick up the ratings.
