Mustafa Ali has hinted that his return to TNA Wrestling could be just around the corner.

Ali shared a video on social media on Saturday which ended with the date “09-24-26”, pointing towards a possible appearance on the September 24 episode of TNA Impact.

The show will air live from the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas. TNA will also hold another round of television tapings at the venue on September 25.

Ali has been sidelined since last month’s Lockdown event, where he fractured his ribs and suffered a punctured lung during his match against Jason Hotch.

Although the match featured Hotch diving from the top of the cage onto Ali through a table, Bryan Alvarez reported that the injury happened during a routine move. The exact moment has not been revealed.

The injury also forced Ali to withdraw from scheduled appearances in Melbourne, Australia, and Glasgow, Scotland.

His latest video offers an encouraging sign for fans awaiting his comeback, although the date alone does not confirm whether he will return to in-ring action.
