10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were As Frustrated As The Fans

10. Mustafa Ali

Virtually everything Mustafa Ali did in the second half of 2020 was related to how he'd been unfairly sh*t on by his employers up to and including then.

The formation of Retribution was, in kayfabe, in response to the myriad of ills within WWE. Ills he attempted to expose as the SmackDown hacker - a gimmick he took responsibility for once the company realised they could tie up a loose end. In character, he gaslit the audience for making light of the awful monikers WWE had given his sidekicks, and by the end of the year his group were the second worst thing on Raw above Ricochet, who they were actively trying to recruit.

He's been dealt an awful lot of bad hands, basically, and his January 4th rant spoke to that and several other systemic problems in WWE.

Raging at the latest Legends Night nostalgia-fest, he raged, noting that "we dedicated a three hour show to old has-beens, a night like tonight is exactly what is wrong with this company. I'm not bewildered, I know the generation before me paved the way but when the hell are you gonna let me walk on that path?"

When indeed? Retribution went back to losing every week as soon as the Ricochet programme concluded.
