Popular Raw Star Calls Out ‘Senior Citizens’ In WWE

Following the Royal Rumble on Sunday night, which was reportedly the oldest Royal Rumble match in the gimmick’s thirty-year history, Mustafa Ali has called out the “senior citizens” in WWE.

Taking to Twitter after the pay-per-view on Sunday night, the RETRIBUTION leader had the following to say:

I’d like to be the first to welcome back all the senior citizens that will surely take away opportunities from hungry, hardworking individuals on this glorious road to #WrestleMania.

This is not the first time that Mustafa Ali has been critical of the manner in which WWE uses older talent. Last month, Mustafa Ali said that ‘legends night’ is exactly what is wrong with WWE:

“I am agitated. I’m angry, but most of all, I’m confused. We dedicated a three-hour show to old has-beens. You want to call them legends or whatever…they’ve had their time. A night like tonight is exactly what is wrong with this company. Three hours to guys that can barely walk. I am not bewildered. I know that the generation before me paved the way, but when the hell are you going to let me walk on that path? Guys like Drew Gulak, Akira Tozawa, guys like myself, all of RETRIBUTION, not on the show. Why? Because we need to hear ‘Whatcha gonna do brother?’ AGAIN! For the seventh million time. They pumped the cheers real good. Why don’t you give us a chance? People who can contribute to this business and further this company. No, let’s push them all aside and give three hours to people that can barely walk. They carved a path, when do I get to walk on that path? For anyone who doesn’t understand what I’m saying, it’s not because I’m talking fast, it’s because you’re listening slow. This place needs change and I am that change,”
