TNA has confirmed a WrestleMania rematch between Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali at the upcoming Slammiversary event on July 20. The confrontation follows Alexander’s recent debut, where tensions flared after he challenged Ali amid growing discord in their faction, Order 4.
Strained Relations Within Order 4 Heighten Tensions
Order 4 is falling apart as Mustafa Ali’s erratic behavior has alienated him from the group. Tasha Steelz attempted to mediate between Ali and Alexander on the July 3 episode of Impact, urging both men to resolve their conflict in the ring. Alexander views Ali as a changed man, no longer the brother he once knew, highlighting their history as the driving force behind WWE’s cruiserweight division leading into WrestleMania 34.
Ali responded by rejecting Alexander’s offers of help, accusing him of stealing his WrestleMania spotlight by capturing the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. He challenged Alexander to earn a rematch if he truly wanted to aid him.
Confrontation Erupts as Alexander Accepts the Challenge
Despite Alexander’s calls for peace, the confrontation escalated when Ali attempted a surprise attack, which Alexander narrowly avoided before countering with a strike. The ensuing brawl drew in Ali’s allies, but Order 4 intervened to support Alexander, decisively turning the fight.
