On this week’s Monday Night Raw, Mustafa Ali will challenge Riddle for United States Championship. Ahead of his US Title match, Ali had an interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider and asked about what becoming the United States Champion would mean to him.
Then, the leader of RETRIBUTION, Mustafa Ali said that he was born and raised in United States but sometimes people don’t look him like American. Ali believes that holding United States Title would mean a lot to him than a lot of people. Here what Mustafa Ali said:
“It means more to me than it would to a lot of people. My name is Mustafa Ali. Yes, I’m an American. But I feel people don’t look at me as an American. When I go to the grocery store with my wife she wears a hijab scarf over her head, and I notice the glares she gets. Pre-pandemic when we went out to dinner she would get the same looks. I’m always conscious that it doesn’t feel like home. Why do I feel like a visitor? I was born and raised here. I do love this country and what it can be. Growing up [in Chicago], I didn’t have someone that looked like me that represented as being American. I think it would be wild for a kid named Mohammed or Saʽid or a girl named Sara watching Raw seeing a guy named Mustafa Ali holding the United States Championship.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
