Mustafa Ali is all about giving back.
At NJPW Resurgence, Mustafa Ali will face Lio Rush. This will mark the latest stop on Ali’s campaign, as the TNA X-Division Champion is determined to make wrestling great again.
Ali took to Twitter/X to share a video in which he discussed the match and called it a donation to NJPW.
“Hi, I’m Mustafa Ali. Today, I want to talk to you about the power of giving back. You see, our great industry was built on the idea of reaching down to those all the way at the bottom of the card and lending them a helping hand. It’s about being a humanitarian and saving someone’s career. Charitable work isn’t just about giving money. It’s about giving less talented individuals opportunities and exposure that they would never get on their own. So I am proud to announce that the Mustafa Ali campaign will be donating an exhibition match this Saturday in Ontario, California, for New Japan Pro-Wrestling. My opponent for this charity campaign match will be Lio Rush. Now, is Mr. Rush qualified or deserving to be in the ring with me? Of course not. But Mr. Rush is a gifted child, and I believe it is the responsibility of a leader such as myself to invest in the children of today because they will be the leaders of tomorrow. So I urge you, my fellow citizens to join me in my noble cause for charity. Let’s stand together. Let’s give generously, and let’s make our industry great again. Thank you, good night, and remember, in Ali we trust,” Ali said.
