Mustafa Ali was left undrafted in the 2023 WWE Draft, meaning that he currently wrestles as a free agent who’s able to wrestle on any brand.

While he has appeared on NXT TV in recent weeks, as of writing, Ali’s WWE.com profile still indicates that he isn’t assigned to any brand.

An NXT Championship match will officially be determined on Tuesday’s (July 11) show, with Bron Breakker set to battle Ilja Dragunov in a #1 contender’s match.

The victor will face Carmelo Hayes for the NXT Title at the Great American Bash.
