Mustafa Ali announcement set for WWE NXT

Mustafa Ali has an announcement to make.

In a post on Monday night, Ali hyped that he’ll be making a “very important announcement” on tonight’s episode of WWE NXT. Ali is currently on a mission to win the NXT North American Championship.

Ali challenged for the North American title at NXT Great American Bash last month, but it was in a triple threat match that ended with Dominik Mysterio pinning Wes Lee to retain. Ali was on the verge of winning the title but was pulled out of the ring by Rhea Ripley as he was about to beat Dominik.

Last week’s NXT featured a singles match with Ali defeating Axiom. Near the finish, Ali nearly pulled off Axiom’s mask on accident. Ali then took advantage of the situation, pushing Axiom off the top rope and hitting a 450 to get the victory.

Ali then looked into the camera after the match and declared that he’s starting a campaign to become the new North American Champion.

Dominik retained the North American title against Dragon Lee on NXT last Tuesday. Ripley again interfered to help Dominik keep his championship.

Here’s the updated lineup for tonight’s NXT:

  • NXT Championship number one contender’s match: Wes Lee vs. Dijak
  • Trick Williams vs. Drew Gulak
  • Dana Brooke vs. Blair Davenport
  • Mustafa Ali will make a “very important announcement”
  • NXT Tag Team Champions Tony D’Angelo & Stacks defend against The Dyad

The Tag Team title match between D’Angelo & Stacks and The Dyad will kick off tonight’s episode.
