Fans have expressed their confusion on the news of Ali’s release, as he is advertised to appear at the No Mercy PLE on September 30th to challenge Dominik Mysterio for the North American Championship. The match has now been pulled as no promotional material can be found on the event page.
Emma was next to break the news, quoting a previous tweet of how excited she was to be performing at the upcoming PLE in her native country of Australia.
Oops nevermind. I just got released…
