- Moment of Awesome: Mustafa Ali makes his Royal Rumble debut in 2019 and eliminated two of SmackDown top stars, newly crowned United States Champion and previous year winner Shinsuke Nakamura, and Samoa Joe, while lasting for half an hour before being eliminated by Nia Jax.
- Awesome Music: His WWE entrance theme "Go Hard"
by CFO$ and Maino is an outstanding techno hip hop music number with Pakistani flow on it. - Memetic Mutation: "There is no failure in RETRIBUTION!"note
- Strawman Has a Point: Despite this happening during his time as a full-on heel leading RETRIBUTION, most fans agreed with him when he criticized WWE's overreliance on aging/retired legends during the post-Legends Night edition of Raw Talk on January 4, 2021.I'm angry, but most of all, I'm confused. We dedicated a three-hour show to old has-beens. You wanna call them legends, call them whatever, they've had their time. A night like tonight is exactly what is wrong with this company. Three hours, to guys that can barely walk? (...) I'm not bewildered, I know exactly that the generation before me paved the way, but when the hell are you gonna let me walk on that path? Guys like Drew Gulak, Akira Tozawa, myself, all of RETRIBUTION, not on the show, why? Because we need to hear "whatcha gonna do, brother?" again, for the seven-millionth time!?
- Unintentionally Sympathetic: He’s supposed to be bad as the leader of RETRIBUTION, but the WWE has given him the short end of the stick so many times that it’s easy to sympathize with him and the other five members.
