Mustafa Ali is getting his much-deserved spotlight in 2024.
Last week, Pro Wrestling Illustrated launched its latest edition of its magazine digitally (the print edition is available on April 16). The cover features current TNA X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali.
Ali took to social media to celebrate the accomplishment in a series of posts, tweeting out:
“BREAKING NEWS: Proud to announce that I am the cover of the @OfficialPWI magazine. The digital issue is available for purchase now: https://pwi.zinioapps.com/pro-wrestling-illustrated/june-2024-i655115 Print issues available April 16th. #MustafaAli2024
“Since forming my own independent party in January of 2024, I have launched a world tour which resulted in record breaking ticket sales, sold out the Wintrust Arena within hours, made history by capturing the X-Division Title in my debut match for @ThisIsTNA, and now claim the cover of @OfficialPWI
“In addition to all this, I am the first Muslim, and the first performer of Pakistani and Indian descent to be solo cover on @OfficialPWI magazine. To do this during the month of #Ramadan is a genuine honor. As a kid, I read PWI all the time. But I always wished to see someone in that magazine that looked like me. I have finally done that. Thank you. #InAliWeTrust,” Mustafa Ali said.
Ali is only the second current X-Division Champion to be featured on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Ali follows in the footsteps of Samoa Joe, who graced the cover with the title back in 2006.
