Bronson Reed vs. Mustafa Ali announced for WWE Raw

WWE has announced a new match for next week’s Raw. 

Bronson Reed vs. Mustafa Ali is now scheduled for the show. 

The match was set up in a WWE digital exclusive video published after Raw on Monday. Ali was shown talking in the back with Dolph Ziggler, who had been defeated by Reed in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match the week prior. Ali then said he would have defeated Reed if given the same opportunity. Reed then appeared and suggested Ali face him next week.  

This will be Reed’s fourth match since returning to the company. He’s 3-0 with wins over Ziggler and against Akira Tozawa twice. 

The last time Ali wrestled on Raw he was defeated by Solo Sikoa on January 16, 2023. He hasn’t won a match on Raw since defeating The Miz on October 31, 2022.
