Mustafa Ali has taken some time away from the world of wrestling and amidst this hiatus, it seems that he is now in the shape of his life.Ali shared a video on social media on January 16 explaining he had requested his release from WWE, which was reportedly denied due to contractual reasons.The company continued to try and add him to the annual Royal Rumble, where Ali refused and made it clear of his intentions. He has since been attempting to force himself out of his contract.The contract states that he has more than two years left on his current deal.Despite all of this, Ali has been absent from WWE television for a few months and has used this time to make positive changes to his physical wellbeing.The wrestling star’s last televised match came against Drew McIntyre on an edition of Friday Night SmackDown on October 29. McIntyre came out victorious in this match up.The wrestler was evidently proud and shared his transformation on his Twitter, captioning the pictured post with “adjustments.”

The post, which has amassed just under 5k likes, has become a talking point.

For reference, here's what he used to look like.

He is pictured in the gym looking in peak physical condition – it is noticeable that he is far more muscular since his last cameo on SmackDown.

He had previously been at the top of his game in the cruiserweight division, with him being the front-runner. Since his bulk, it seems he may be preparing for a massive change of career.

Alongside welcoming a new daughter to his family, it appears that massive changes in Ali’s personal life has begun a fuelled pursuit of a career change.

It seems that the relationship between Mustafa Ali and the WWE is diminishing and that a split may be best for both parties.
