Mustafa Ali teases ending current WWE Superstar’s undefeated streak

Mustafa Ali is looking forward to ending NXT North American Champion Wes Lee's undefeated streak, which is the longest in WWE this year.

Ali made a surprise appearance on the May 30 episode of NXT, watching Lee and Tyler Bate face The Dyad. He even helped them fend off Joe Gacy after the match before teasing going after Lee's NXT North American Championship.

The 37-year-old superstar then served as a special guest referee in Lee's title defense against Bate at the NXT Gold Rush special on June 20. He then defeated Bate on the June 27 episode of NXT to earn a shot at the North American Title at The Great American Bash.

In a recent post on Twitter, Ali teased ending Lee's current undefeated streak and winning his first championship in WWE. He shared the stat saying Lee has a record of 22-0 this year, including TV and live event matches.

The star then shared a photo of himself looking at a clock. This could serve as an indication from Ali that the time may be ticking on Lee's undefeated streak.
