Post WrestleMania season is the time for returns in WWE and the latest episode of Monday Night Raw was no different. The WWE Universe saw the surprise returns of Mustafa Ali and Asuka. Ali returned during Miz TV and interrupted the former WWE Champion and brand new United States Champion, Austin Theory’s (now Theory) segment.

While he fired a few shots at The Miz on his own show, Theory was not forgotten. Mustafa Ali said, “If I wanted to laugh, I’d watch you wrestle.” The returning superstar did not waste a single minute as he challenged Theory for the United States Championship. He also humiliated Vince McMahon’s protégé with a savage question-“What are you, all biceps and no b*lls?” 

Although Theory refused to face Ali tonight on Raw, he messaged Vince McMahon and fixed a match between the returning star and The Miz.

Mustafa Ali, who had not been seen on WWE programming since October 2021, returned with a bang in a match against former WWE Champion The Miz.

Wrestling fans were incredibly overjoyed at the sight of Ali in the ring, and the crowd at The University of Knoxville greeted him with “Welcome back” chants.

“Glad to see Mustafa Ali back in WWE, and smiling again. He got a nice “welcome back” chants from the WWE Universe in Noxville,” Raphael Wilson tweeted.

“An ELITE LEVEL return tonight!! Welcome back!!!” @XylotThemes mentioned.

Say no to the #FreeAli hashtags!

Ali was away from the company for six months. Even when he was active, he did not have memorable spots on TV. Hence, wrestling fans asked the company to release Ali from his WWE contract with the #FreeAli hashtag.

A user recollected that the fans who earlier started the #FreeAli hashtag would be embarrassed as Ali was treated well on his return.

Not only did Mustafa Ali make his return to the WWE after six months, but he also made his intentions clear. Ali was way more confident this time than from his earlier WWE stint.

The 36-year-old shot two WWE superstars with one bullet and capped off his comeback with a win. Unfortunately, his return was short-lived as former NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa blindsided him.
