EVOLVE announces WWE’s Mustafa Ali for November shows
Another WWE wrestler is set to make a couple of in-ring appearances for EVOLVE.
EVOLVE Wrestling announced today that 205 Live’s Mustafa Ali will be in action at their shows in Livonia, Michigan on November 9 and Summit, Illinois on November 10. Opponents for Ali weren’t announced, but EVOLVE noted that he’ll be in “main event quality matches.”
