WWE Changes SmackDown Live Superstar’s Name

Over the last few years it’s become quite common for WWE to shorten the names of Superstars, and no one knows that better than wrestlers like Rusev, Cesaro and Andrade.

Now it appears that WWE has shortened yet another name, as Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that Mustafa Ali’s name has been changed to simply Ali.

Mustafa Ali has already updated his Twitter handle, and his bio on WWE.com now reads as follows:

“A veteran of the cruiserweight wars, Ali brought his years of in-ring experience to Full Sail University in pursuit of the Cruiserweight Classic crown during the Cruiserweight Classic.

For more than a decade, Ali has honed his craft all over the country, squaring off with some of the toughest competition that both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions have to offer. Hailing from Chicago, Ali exudes a quiet confidence that allows his action to speak louder than words.”
