9. Mustafa Ali

OK, what the f*ck is Mustafa Ali doing here and why isn't there a gathering of angry protesters outside this writer's office door already? That baying mob would have a point; Ali is excellent inside the ring, and he has shown an affinity for cutting likeable babyface promos.

The same likeable babyface promo every damn time. That's the problem.

It says everything for Ali's 2019 that the three main things people will remember from his year are, in order, getting injured and thus facilitating Kofi Kingston's push, losing his forename and talking in pre-tapes on SmackDown. That, in between working solid-yet-obviously-inconsequential matches, is about it.

WWE love the thought of having wrestlers cut the same promo using different words week-after-week. It's what they do, and yet (even knowing the formula) it was intolerable to see Ali yammer on about cultural diversification and healing the world without taking any action.
