Rising WWE star Mustafa Ali made some controversial comments on Twitter, taking note on his religion before answering his critics on social media. Though Mustafa Ali proved his worth as an in-ring wrestler, a major portion of the wrestling fanbase seemingly believes that Mustafa Ali does not have the ability to cut a promo. Throughout the years, WWE superstars who didn’t possess mic skills were booted off the promotion with time, and a lot of fans believe Mustafa Ali will face a similar fate if he fails to develop his mic skills and the ability to cut an intense promo. Mustafa Ali took to Twitter and explained why a promo from him won't appear appropriate to most fans.
