Mustafa Ali isn't thrilled that so many older names from the past have popped up during WWE's 'Road To WrestleMania 37'.

After working Sunday's Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Ali hopped onto Twitter and posted a sarcastic "welcome back" to "all the senior citizens that will surely take away opportunities from hungry, hardworking individuals on this glorious road to WrestleMania".

Some fans chipped in to opine that these legends deserve another run because of their value - some even blasted Mustafa for his words and pointed out that WWE want to drum up as much interest from casuals fans as possible during this period of the year.

Ali isn't having it, although he's likely working (at least partly) his audience.

He also posted 'before and after' pics of the moment he eliminated Xavier Woods from the Rumble. One fan popped up to say that Ali got eliminated himself seconds later. That prompted the Retribution leader to ask, "What did you do today, bitch?".

What do you think of Mustafa Ali's tweets? Do you think he has a point about so many legends returning for WrestleMania season, or do you think he's just having a right good whinge for the sake of it?
