Current plans call for Mustafa Ali and Mansoor to be a babyface tag team on the RAW brand moving forward.
Ali recently took Mansoor under his wing, offering to show him the ropes of the red brand. This week’s RAW saw Mansoor defeat Jinder Mahal by DQ after the referee stopped the match when Jinder would not stop stomping on Mansoor in the corner. Before the match, Mansoor said he appreciated Ali’s help, but he didn’t want Ali to interfere in the match with Jinder because he wanted to beat Jinder the right way.
This led to Ali turning his back while Jinder stomped on Mansoor in the corner for the DQ. After the match, Ali came into the ring and asked Mansoor what happened. Ali then mentioned how they can keep trying things Mansoor’s way, or try to do things Ali’s way now. WWE released a post-RAW video of Ali interrupting Mansoor’s interview with Sarah Schreiber.
Mansoor yelled at Ali for being arrogant and narcissistic, supposedly being his mentor but watching while he was attacked by Jinder. Ali pointed to how Mansoor told him to stay out of the match, and then gave him a choice.
“Look Mansoor, you can do things your way, or we can do things my way. That choice is yours,” Ali said as he walked off.
In an update, WWE is now moving forward with the idea that Ali and Mansoor will be a babyface tag team on the red brand, according to PWInsider. Mansoor has been a babyface for the most part for a while now, while Ali has played the heel. Now it looks like they are moving into being a full-blown babyface team.
It looks like Mansoor and Ali will go up against Veer and Shanky next week, or possibly Jinder teaming with Veer or Shanky. They have also recently feuded with MACE and T-BAR.
