While Mustafa Ali wasn’t able to win his match against Daniel Bryan on the latest episode of SmackDown Live, his debut on the Brand was by no means a failure.
Ali won a lot of hearts with just one match against the WWE Champion and as we noted before, a number of stars praised his performance on the show this past Tuesday.
Now Mustafa has also reflected on his debut against Bryan via the following tweet, recalling how he has gone from being an alternate for Cruiserweight Classic to competing against one of the greatest:
Last night on #SDLive, the guy that was an alternate in the Cruiserweight Classic, stood toe-to-toe with the @WWE Champion. Dream on, dream on. #205Live pic.twitter.com/w3uKzrkfxM

So far there is no word yet on if Mustafa Ali was brought in to the Blue Branded Show just for one night or if he will be wrestling there frequently.
Though seeing how WWE has been using some other 205 Live Stars like Lio Rush on Raw, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Ali ends up being a regular on the show.
Mustafa started his wrestling career in 2003 and wrestled for a number of indie companies for more than a decade. He found his way into the spotlight in 2016 when Brazilian wrestler Zumbi was unable to compete in CWC and Ali was brought in by WWE as his replacement.
