Samoa Joe heinously assaulted Mustafa Ali prior to their scheduled match

January 15, 2019

Samoa Joe brutalizes Mustafa Ali: SmackDown LIVE, Jan. 15, 2019

Prior to a singles bout between Samoa Joe and Mustafa Ali, The Samoan Submission Machine sends a vicious message to Ali.

SmackDown LIVE’s newest sensation, Mustafa Ali, was scheduled to square off against Samoa Joe in the biggest one-on-one match of Ali’s SmackDown LIVE tenure thus far … but Joe made sure the match never got underway. Ali was clearly ready to roll as he entered the ring, but Joe blitzed Mustafa prior to the bell, beating the upstart down with a vicious assault that saw The Samoan Submission Machine twice ram Ali face-first into the ring post before hurling him into the ringside barricade with all his might. Samoa Joe promised that this was merely a preview of what was going to happen to every Superstar he crosses paths with in the Men's Royal Rumble Match.
