Ali details unique path to WWE Superstardom in CBS News interview
November 8, 2019
Ali has blazed his own trail in the WWE and shattered stereotypes during his determined path to Superstardom.
CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod sat down with the Ali to detail how he’s changed the narrative for Muslim Superstars in the ring.
Professional wrestling has a legacy of Arab & Muslim “villains” inside the ring. @WWE star-in-the-making @AliWWE believed he was destined for more — to show fans that one can be both Muslim and the “good guy.”
