According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fight Select, WWE sources used the term “value” as the reason for continuing to keep the SmackDown star under contract. It was also reported that he still has well over a year left on his contract although the exact expiry date wasn’t mentioned.
Ali last competed inside the squared circle against Drew McIntyre on an episode of SmackDown in October last year. He also made an appearance at the Crown Jewel event where he faced Mansoor, albeit in a losing effort.
It was later reported that a heated argument with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon led to Ali being taken off TV after his idea of a character change was shot down. He took to Twitter to post a video that could’ve possibly started the storyline.

In an interview with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports, Kofi Kingston stated that he sees big things in the future for Ali, no matter what happens next.
The former RETRIBUTION leader would certainly be a top addition to any wrestling promotion if he does manage to acquire his release from WWE. It would be interesting to see where he eventually ends up at.
