18 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (Aug 9)

2. Mustafa Ali's Surname Is About To Go?

WWE typed Mustafa Ali's name like "MUSTAFA ᴬˡᶦ" on this week's show.

The weird thing here is that ring announcer Mike Rome emphasises the Ali surname more than Mustafa, and WWE previously cut Mustafa from his act completely a few years back. Now, it seems, they're leaning more on the forename than the surname.

What is it with names in this company? Why was Ali so tiny on that match graphic?
