Several months ago, Ali was moved up from 205 Live to Smackdown. It has been a pretty solid transition so far and Ali has proved that he deserves to be on the WWE main roster.
Ali was recently interviewed by TV Insider. During the interview, he ended up revealing the advice that he received from Xavier Woods after he made the jump to Smackdown.
Here is what Ali said:
“I was given a promo one day and didn’t agree with the verbiage or how to do it. I talked to the writer about it but was insisted to do a certain way. I went and vented to Xavier Woods about it. I told him, ‘It’s almost like they don’t know me.’ He said, ‘Because they don’t. It’s on you to present yourself how you want to be presented. It’s up to you to create this image that you want people to see. It’s on you. If they can’t see it, then you’re not doing a good job at it.’”
My Take: I think that Ali has done a pretty good job so far and I am excited to see him keep developing as a performer.
