The star then shared a photo of himself looking at a clock. This could serve as an indication from Ali that the time may be ticking on Lee’s undefeated streak.

NXT: The Great American Bash is scheduled on July 30, 2023, at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park in Texas. Mustafa Ali was drafted as a free agent in the 2023 WWE Draft and can appear on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
