Over the past few days, rumors have been swirling about a major WWE superstar considering a departure from the company.

While the identity of this superstar was initially a mystery,

recent backstage reports have pointed to Mustafa Ali as the individual not planning to renew his WWE contract, which is set to expire in late 2020.

Mustafa Ali, who has often expressed frustration with his booking on WWE’s main roster,

believes he could find greater success outside the company. Many fans and insiders agree that Ali has significantly more potential than his current position in WWE suggests, as he is frequently sidelined from main events and relegated to less prominent matches. Ali’s dissatisfaction has reportedly reached a tipping point, with sources indicating that he feels undervalued and underutilized by WWE management, particularly Vince McMahon.

Adding to the speculation, it has been rumored that AEW is very interested in acquiring Mustafa Ali. Ali is said to be unwilling to negotiate a new contract with WWE, preferring instead to complete his current deal and explore opportunities with AEW, where he believes he will receive more substantial opportunities.

Samoa Joe’s In-Ring Future in Jeopardy

Similar frustrations are reportedly shared by Samoa Joe, whose injuries have hindered his career in WWE. Although Joe has been medically cleared to compete for several months, Vince McMahon has hesitated to allow his return to the ring, deeming him too injury-prone. As a result, Joe has been relegated to commentary roles, despite his desire to perform as an in-ring competitor.

Sources suggest that Joe is becoming increasingly frustrated with his limited role and is exploring ways to exit his WWE contract to join AEW. Chris Jericho recently commented on AEW’s interest in Samoa Joe, fueling speculation about his potential departure from WWE.

Kevin Owens’ Future Uncertain Amid Backstage Tensions

Kevin Owens, another WWE superstar, has also experienced a decline in his booking. Despite his status as a former Universal Champion, Owens has been stuck in mid-card storylines without significant momentum. Reports indicate that Owens is unhappy with his current position and has become difficult to work with backstage, leading to tensions with WWE management.

Vince McMahon is reportedly aware of Owens’ dissatisfaction but is not inclined to push him to a higher position simply to appease him. This situation may result in Owens requesting his release from WWE in late 2020, with sources suggesting that McMahon would not be opposed to letting him go.

Charlotte Flair and Seth Rollins Taking Leaves of Absence

In other news, Charlotte Flair has taken a leave of absence from WWE since June 2020. While it was initially reported that Flair needed surgery, new rumors suggest that she is taking time off to start a family with her fiancé, Andrade. Flair has expressed her desire to have children and may announce a temporary retirement from WWE in late 2020.

Similarly, Seth Rollins is expected to take a break from WWE to support his fiancée, Becky Lynch, who is due to give birth in December 2020. Rollins plans to leave WWE temporarily to be with Lynch during the final stages of her pregnancy. WWE is reportedly planning a big segment for Rollins to announce his departure, with a potential return as a babyface in 2021.

As the wrestling world anticipates these potential departures and shifts, it remains to be seen how WWE will respond and how these superstars will navigate their futures in professional wrestling.
