It’s certainly not uncommon for WWE Superstars to go through name changes, and over the last few years WWE has shortened the names of a few talents by taking their first name away.
Ali is a wrestler who is quite familiar with what it means to have his name shortened, but he recently took to Twitter to announce that he will be known as Mustafa Ali once again moving forward.

It’s also worth noting that he is once again listed as Mustafa Ali in his official profile on WWE.com.
Back in March Mustafa Ali took to Twitter to explain the meaning behind the name Mustafa when he posted the following:
Mustafa means the "chosen one" with an emphasis on being chosen from amongst the people.
Name or not, nothing has changed. I fight for the people. I am one of them.
