Mustafa Ali spoke about confronting Brock Lesnar
WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali recently revealed the idea of facing The Beast Incarnate in a first-time-ever match. Ali also stated that he is not afraid of Lesnar.
Since joining the Stamford-based company in 2016, the 37-year-old has competed against several top talents, including Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, and Bobby Lashley. However, he has never faced the former WWE Champion in a one-on-one contest.
In a recent interview with Okaz newspaper, Ali mentioned a possible match against The Beast Incarnate. The RAW Superstar revealed that he is not frightened of the 10-time world champion but is reluctant to meet him.
"Which wrestler do I fear facing? I fear no man. It's just a man. Everyone says Brock Lesnar is scary, uhh, you know. There're some intimidating guys that I've seen, but fear is a strong word. I don't fear anybody. Would I like to wrestle a guy like Brock Lesnar? Probably not. But fear is not a word I use, no," Ali said.
Check out the video below:
As of now, The Beast will potentially collide with The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes at Backlash 2023. However, that depends on whether Lesnar responds to Rhodes' challenge on the upcoming WWE RAW.
