WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali posts about a match with current AEW star
WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali recently took to social media to reminisce about a match against current AEW star Buddy Matthews (formerly known as Buddy Murphy).
Ali has spent the majority of the year off of WWE television after asking for his release in January.
The 36-year-old superstar recently returned to WWE television and battled Theory for the United States Championship at WWE Hell in a Cell. The premium live event was held in Mustafa's hometown of Chicago, but the former leader of RETRIBUTION came up short. Since then, Mustafa has been moved back to WWE Main Event.
Ali recently took to Twitter to post the highlights of a match between himself and former WWE Superstar Buddy Murphy. The match happened four years ago today on the now-canceled 205 Live show. Murphy has since signed with All Elite Wrestling and performs as Buddy Matthews in the House of Black faction.
