Vince McMahon Reportedly Had Heated Reaction To WWE Superstar For Turning Down Character Change

Back in November, Mustafa Ali was gearing up for a character change on WWE Friday Night SmackDown. That new gimmick would have been based around him introducing a "New America".

Unfortunately, that idea was scrapped but Mustafa Ali posted about it alongside a video that would have begun the storyline via Twitter account.

"A few weeks ago, I made a statement that some deemed controversial. My intentions were to bring a beautiful vision to life. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond my control, I won't be able to make that vision a reality. But i can share with you what could have been," Mustafa Ali tweeted.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that WWE initially accepted the "New America" storyline but later changed their minds and turned it down. Then, WWE Boss Vince McMahon offered another storyline to Ali. Source told to Sapp that idea is "something Mustafa Ali would never have done". So, that led to a heated argument between Vince McMahon and Mustafa Ali. Since then, WWE Superstar Ali hasn't been seen on SmackDown.

An argument with Vince McMahon may have led to Mustafa Ali's WWE absence since November, Fightful Select has learned.
