WWE has not only confirmed that Mustafa Ali is injured and not medically cleared to compete but also named his replacement in the WWE Title Elimination Chamber Match.
As a result, Ali has been replaced by Kofi Kingston. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan is slated to make his next title defense against Kingston, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Hardy at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event.
It was reported that Ali had been working through an injured tailbone that got hurt again at the Royal Rumble and then suffered an eye injury as it was swollen shut.
During this week’s episode of SmackDown Live, Orton beat Styles, Bryan, Hardy, Joe, and Kingston to win a Gauntlet Match in order to determine who would enter the structure last.
Unfortunately, some injuries I picked up over the last few months caught up to me. @WWE will not medically clear me to compete in this Sunday's #EliminationChamber Match. My apologies to anyone I let down.
