10 Wrestlers WWE Has Given Up On

10. Mustafa Ali

An obvious starting point.

Mustafa Ali is currently locked in a stand-off with WWE. He's had enough and wants out, but they don't seem super-keen to cut him loose despite releasing everybody and their dog throughout 2021. It's a weird situation, and one that probably won't end with a Raw or SmackDown comeback.

Truthfully, the creative team had seemed to give up on Ali before he started shouting from the rooftops about his desire to leave WWE. That Retribution nonsense was horrible, and his tag-team with Mansoor went absolutely nowhere too. The dude was pretty directionless as a character, which is a real shame for someone so clearly talented.

That superhero-like gimmick Mustafa was playing before he took charge of the world's worst faction was promising to fair, and yet that seems like it happened a lifetime ago. There's only one solution here: Ali leaving WWE behind and going on to pastures new.
