You have to go even further back to find Ali’s last televised match for the company, which took place on the 12/13 episode of SmackDown last year, where he teamed with Shorty G in a losing effort to The Revival.

Well it appears like we may be seeing Mustafa Ali back on our screens soon, as Ringside News is reporting that the former 205 Live star will be at the Performance Center for tapings this week.
