Mustafa Ali has been named a South Asian-American stereotype breaker by the editorial staff of National Geographic.

Ali has spoken at length with WWE.com before about grappling with stereotypes, and the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament finalist is featured in NatGeo alongside figures such as comedian Hari Kondabolu (“The Problem with Apu”), Hoboken, N.J., Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla, astronaut Sunita Williams, Emmy-award winning journalist Narmeen Choudhury and 2018 Houston Public Media Spelling Bee champion Pranav Chemudupaty.
