Mustafa Ali is the only 205 Live superstar who has made the jump from 205 Live to the main roster, and has permanently left 205 Live. He has been involved in some great matches with the likes of Daniel Bryan, and is now currently feuding with Samoa Joe.
He spoke on Talk Is Jericho, where he revealed that it was Road Dogg who made him a babyface. Here is what he said:
It’s actually Road Dogg that pitched the idea [of being a babyface] because when I started they did want me to be the bad guy. So they had the Pakistani flag in my entrance and if you put up any flag that’s not the American flag, it’s going to get heat. They weren’t going to push it like ‘he’s an evil foreigner,’ but very subtly.
Road Dogg pulls me aside and he goes, ‘You’re right! Why do we have to make you a bad guy? You have this great moveset and I think we can mold it to fit the WWE style, but let’s run with you as a baby and see what happens.’ So I was all for it and I fully believed I could do it.
