Former WWE 205 Live star, Mustafa Ali recently spoke with WWE cameras for a Day In The Life where he discussed joining the blue brand. Below are some highlights with a H/T to WrestlingInc.com for the transcriptions.
On teaming with AJ Styles and joining SmackDown:
“I’m teaming with AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan and ‘Cien’ Almas, I’m just waiting to wake up,” Ali said. “One week you’re facing Daniel Byran and next week you’re teaming with AJ Styles. You’re in the ring with the best in the world. Part of me wants to tell myself they don’t just put anybody in the ring with them. I obviously want to be as good as them and I feel like I can be and I can hang with them. Trying not to make it bigger than it is. This is still a very cool moment for me. I’ve watched those guys, in particular Bryan and AJ. I’ve watched them my entire life, my entire career. Even on the independent scene, they were stars. Here they are stars and now my name is next to theirs.”
Missing 205 Live:
“I will always rep 205 Live,” Ali said. “I will always support 205 Live. I will always be the heart of 205 Live. I will always be watching because you will never know when the heart of 205 Live will beat again.”
