Mustafa Ali shares impressive training video; Sasha Banks reacts
WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali, who is currently signed to SmackDown, shared an impressive training video on Twitter.
Mustafa Ali was drafted to SmackDown in the 2021 WWE draft and featured in WWE's Premium Live Event Crown Jewel where the high-flying star battled Mansoor in a losing effort.
In the video dropped by Mustafa Ali, the 35-year-old is spotted performing quite a few stunning versions of the arm drag and looks to be in spectacular shape. The athlete also gave credit to his training partner Sabin Gauge in the comments.
Sasha Banks, who is also plying her trade on SmackDown, was quick to take note of the video and joined the conversation with a comment of her own.

Update on Mustafa Ali's absence from recent SmackDown episodes in Chicago
SmackDown had two episodes taped in Chicago, which happens to be Mustafa Ali's hometown, in the month of December. Sadly, and to the surprise of many, Ali did not feature in either of the episodes.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Mustafa Ali was not even present in the arena during the two shows. The reason reported for Ali's absence was that WWE did not have any creative plans in place for his return to his hometown.
Mustafa Ali update coming to FightfulSelect.com shortly.
