Mustafa Ali has confirmed he is okay following a significant injury scare during his match against Cedric Alexander at TNA Slammiversary on July 20. The leader of Order 4 took to social media to address fan concerns after a dive to the outside went wrong.
The incident occurred during the pay-per-view’s opening contest when Ali performed a dive onto Alexander. He appeared to overshoot his opponent, landing head-first at a dangerous angle that caused immediate alarm among viewers.
In his statement, Ali took full responsibility for the frightening moment and defended the other talent at ringside who had been criticized for not catching him.
“Appreciate everyone’s concern. Unfortunately, I have to pull the curtain back here because the talent ringside was absolutely not responsible for that scary fall in any way and they are getting all the blame. They did exactly what they were instructed to do. I tried to do a variation of a dive and simply slipped off my opponent. No one to blame but me. I am all good. See ya on #TNAiMPACT.”
Despite the scare, Ali continued the match and ultimately defeated Alexander after hitting a 450 splash. His update confirms he will not miss any time and will be present for the upcoming TNA iMPACT tapings.
