This isn't the first time Ali has visited All Elite Wrestling and he was backstage at the July 3 episode of Dynamite that emanated from Chicago's Wintrust Arena.

He had a run in TNA Wrestling earlier this year on a per-appearance deal, holding the X-Division Championship for 148 days from February's No Surrender until July's Slammiversary pay-per-view when he dropped the gold to "Speedball" Mike Bailey. Ali then finished up with TNA on July 21 after unsuccessfully challenging Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship. 

Mustafa Ali hasn't been quiet since exiting TNA and he lost to Hiromu Takahashi at NJPW Capital Collision on August 30. He has also faced the likes of Sidney Akeem (FKA Reggie & Scrypts) and Zilla Fatu in GCW and House of Glory respectively.
