> Unconfirmed: Fightful Select reports Mustafa Ali's TNA contract expires at the end of 2026, and that TNA plans to try to re-sign him. TNA has not confirmed it.

This is a rumor and it is not confirmed. Fightful Select reportedly says Mustafa Ali's TNA contract expires at the end of 2026. Neither TNA nor Ali has confirmed the timing.

## The quick version

- Not confirmed by TNA or Ali.
- Reliability: Single source, not confirmed.
- Wrestling Inc. relayed the Fightful Select report on Nov. 5.

## What is being reported

Fightful Select reports that Ali's deal ends in December, according to Wrestling Inc.'s summary of the report. The report says TNA will try to re-sign him and that he is highly regarded backstage, citing people within the company.

It also says Ali has been advising TNA on wrestlers the company could sign, though not in an official role. Wrestling Inc. adds that several TNA contracts are said to be coming up for renewal, and that TNA President Carlos Silva reportedly told the roster that new offers are coming soon.

## What we know for certain

Per Wrestling Inc., Ali announced at the start of 2026 that he had signed a new deal with TNA. He debuted there in 2024, a few months after leaving WWE. In two years he has held the X-Division Championship and the International Championship, and he leads the Order 4 group.

## What would confirm or kill it

A re-signing announcement from TNA or a post from Ali would settle it. A confirmed exit or a different contract end date would kill it. We will update this page either way.
