The current US Champion then took advantage of the situation by making the title match take place the same night. However, Adam Pierce later announced that the two stars would face each other in a rematch at WWE Hell in a Cell.
During the event, Ali tried his best to overcome the opposition, but he couldn't get the job done. The match ended after Theory hit Mustafa Ali with his finisher to retain the championship.
An incredible performance from @AliWWE, but @_Theory1 pulls the win off at #HIAC!

Ali has never held a title in WWE, and this was his chance to finally do so. Hopefully, he'll get another opportunity somewhere down the line.
