During a recent episode of “RAW Talk”, RETRIBUTION leader Mustafa Ali instructed Charly Caruso on how to properly pronounce his name. When a fan asked Ali about WWE pronouncing his name wrong all this time, he said,
“Now, not only do they know my name, I made ’em say it right.”
He said he didn’t correct people about his name because he feared it would be “too difficult to pronounce.”
Ali tweeted the following on Wednesday, “I was afraid of what would happen. I was terrified my name would be too difficult to pronounce, so it would be taken away. And it happened. I had to fight for my name. Now, I’m fighting for it be pronounced correctly. I don’t expect people to understand the weight of all that.”
