2023-24 Contract Season: Odyssey Jones removed from WWE TV/online roster over domestic abuse allegations; Gisele Shaw granted release from TNA

[Reality Check]

Watching how Ali has moved in free agency gives me the feeling we’re about to watch another Cody/Cardona/Swerve situation where he becomes one of the most sought after names in wrestling outside of WWE aren’t we?

Way way too soon to be even thinking about that after one promo and some indy matches being announced LOL. Coli loves that post WWE-hype train.

Man already has seemingly like a dozen matches announced so yeah. People have been wanting to watch him freed from the WWE restraints for a while now.

Question is does he stay a free agent so he can have complete control over his character like Cardona did or if he signs a deal somewhere like Cody and Swerve did

I think he’d have to go the AEW or NJPW route to really capitalize. Ceiling is only so high doing the Indy circuit

I don’t know dude.. I’ve always seen it in Ali. Height was his only issue, and even with that he doesn’t come off as too small. He looks like a million bucks, has a good build, marketable, can promo his ass off, can wrestle his ass off… and this presidential gimmick is MONEY.


It’s going to work. I’m betting the house on mustafa ali. Might be too early to tell but I’m calling it. Get on that train now

It's been two days, let's calm down on the hype train, especially when comparing what Cardona and Rhodes have done.

It hasn’t been 2 days, it’s been 7 years


Understand that Ali is a guy Paul Heyman was on record saying he believed would be a main eventer for a very long time. A guy who HBK went to bat for and was upset that he got released.


He’s talented. Yeah, it’s been 2 days that he’s been free to work, but our assumption that Ali is on a super upward trajectory isn’t based on just 2 days.

Cardona says he makes more money now than he did in WWE

Cardona and Rhodes are outliers compared to most other people who have been released. Time will tell as to whether Ali gets into that conversation.

I hear you mane. I always say it. The internet (and social media) will trick you into thinking you care about some shyt you really don’t give a fukk about. Especially The Coli


Guy 1 could have a random opinion like.. I don’t know, “Ninja Turtles was garbage”

Guy 2 replies with a condescending tone saying Ninja Turtles was actually good, and implies that Guy 1 might lack intelligence for having that stance

Guy 1 doubles down with his original point but now he’s trying to match guy 2’s energy, and send jabs back at him

It spirals for a few more posts with people on the outside fanning the flames until it’s a whole ass war of words. Now these dudes are calling each other idiots, all the usual “you would never say this to my face” type shyt..

And it’s like… my nikkas… WE ARE TALKING ABOUT NINJA TURTLES

I hear you and I won't insult anyone while I'm on vacation. It's the holidays. I'll spare everyone for the next couple of weeks.

Looks like Cody Rhodes was indeed a free agent at some point next year

 

[DoubleJ13]

Cody wouldn't have been a free agent until early 2025 & that's before they added injury time. Their just trying to make sure they have him locked up longer before they have him beat Roman

 

[THE 101]

Ali gonna be on Rampage in a year feuding with an ex tag team partner.

 

[NoMorePie]

Signed one of the most lucrative contracts in WWE history, that came with an out after 2 years?

Damn

Edit:



Add possible time for injury. His contract would have likely expired sometime in 2025
