Why Mustafa Ali vs. Kofi Kingston Would Have Been Great For WrestleMania 37

Mustafa Ali had been pretty impressive since he turned heel. He formed a new stable along with some of the new stars and the name of the stable is Retribution. Fans had many expectations from the stable but things did not work out for Retribution as expected.

It seemed like Retribution is the substitute for the famous stable from NXT, Sanity. A large number of fans believed in this theory and they were quite happy to accept that since Sanity showed a lot of promises in NXT but ultimately failed in the main roster.

Why Mustafa Ali vs. Kofi Kingston Would Have Been Great For WrestleMania 37

Fans were happy with Retribution and almost everyone was loving their feud with the New Day. It was seeming like the feud will be stretched till WrestleMania 37. But for some reason, WWE decided not to continue the feud and disband Retribution.

A lot of fans did not like the outcome of this stable. Even Mustafa Ali did not like it. He was expecting to face Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 37. In a recent interview given to Metro UK, he said,

The story was presented and I really thought that was the direction we might be going for in this year’s WrestleMania. Again, like I said, things change and other things take priority sometimes. We almost got to it, so I will try to get to it again. There’s so much real emotion that I can just bring up and bring out in promos leading to that match. When we do it, I hope we’re allowed to do it right because I feel like it’d be one hell of a story.

He also spoke about KofiMania:

KofiMania’s something that had been 11, 12 years in the making. So there was no way to measure up to that, and in the end of the day it was fate that took over. I don’t know what the plans were going into WrestleMania, I can only speculate. But, what I do know is that the plans were to set me up as the next breakout star going into the Elimination Chamber. We’ve all had that moment where you really feel like something that was yours – or you’re up for a job promotion, or whatever it is, and someone else gets it.

WrestleMania always seems incomplete without high flyers and this year it does not look like there will be no high flying showcase. Mustafa Ali vs. Kofi Kingston could be the ultimate high-flying masterpiece fans would ask for. So, it looks like this is turning out to be a missed opportunity.
