This match was a good example of furthering an injury story without sacrificing any action or going with a less than satisfying finish. Itami and Ali were hitting each other with some very hard strikes and some very big moves. Throughout the match Ali would pause here and there, increasingly showing that something wasn&#8217;t okay. Itami was blocking and reversing a lot of Ali&#8217;s moves, but that could have been contributed to either Ali being off his game or just that Itami is really good. I think both are accurate for what they put together here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Mustafa Ali collapses in the ring.
