WWE has confirmed that Mustafa Ali will not be working the WWE Title Elimination Chamber match at Sunday’s Chamber pay-per-view.
WWE reported that Ali is injured but they did not provide any other details. As noted, Ali suffered a concussion at Sunday’s WWE live in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Sunday’s live event saw Ali team with Tye Dillinger for a win over Samoa Joe and Shelton Benjamin.
Shortly after the announcement, Ali posted the following video on Twitter, which later aired on the SmackDown broadcast:
Unfortunately, some injuries I picked up over the last few months caught up to me. @WWE will not medically clear me to compete in this Sunday’s #EliminationChamber Match. My apologies to anyone I let down. pic.twitter.com/fmT4BrTA5D— Mustafa Ali / Adeel Alam (@MustafaAliWWE) February 13, 2019
Later on, as the gauntlet match started, it finally got to be time for The New Day to make a decision. Big E teased taking off his jacket, but he put it back on. Then Xavier Woods thought about stepping up but he backed back down. Then Kofi Kingston decided that he will represent The New Day in the Elimination Chamber match.
So Kofi Kingston will get a WWE Title shot on Sunday at the Elimination Chamber.
The decision has been MADE! @TrueKofi will represent #TheNewDay in this #GauntletMatch, baybeeeeee! #SDLive @XavierWoodsPhD @WWEBigE pic.twitter.com/SAKhHKGNvO— WWE (@WWE) February 13, 2019
