Mustafa Ali Believes His Feud With Seth Rollins Was Put On Hold Due To Rollins Getting Babyface Reactions

Mustafa Ali and Seth Rollins feuded quite recently, with the feud coming to a sudden halt that wasn’t explained.

While speaking to Metro, Mustafa mentioned that he feels like the feud with Rollins was put on hold because Seth was being cheered to much to play the heel in the storyline.

I don’t think it was a knock. What I think happened was, I was this babyface that wasn’t fully developed, so you have to reintroduce me as this contender. Even though Seth was this bad guy champion, he was blurring the lines where the fans were really starting to sing his song, and they had to make a decision. Do we lean into this, or does he commit to being the bad guy?”

On the same show, Seth Rollins will be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship when he takes on AJ Styles.
