Ali shared that Rodriguez was there when Ali was called out for a try out with WWE. He mentions that he was at an event where locals fought to be scouted for the promotion.

The rest, as they say, his history. Ali made his debut in 2016 with WWE and has gone on to become one of the most famous wrestlers on the main roster.

The leader of RETRIBUTION put his gimmick aside to show his real side, and fans appreciated how he shared this heart-warming moment with the WWE universe.
