Mustafa Ali Defeats Elijah At TNA Genesis 2026

Elijah’s first singles in six months ended on a disappointing note, as he was unable to defeat Mustafa Ali at TNA Genesis 2026.

Even before the bell rang, Elijah had the number one heavily stacked against him, as he found himself on the receiving end of a sneak attack from The Great Hands.

However, he managed to put up a valiant fight and nearly picked up a victory after he caught Ali with a sit-out Powerbomb, only for Agent Zero to pull out the referee. As the match official got busy trying to eject Agent Zero and The Great Hands from ringside, Tasha Steelz grabbed the guitar and tried to use it against Elijah.

However, Elijah saw it coming. He caught Steelz and was ready to take her out with the Tombstone Piledriver when Mustafa Ali grabbed the guitar and smashed the back of his opponent with it. The referee, who was unaware of what just transpired, eventually returned to the ring and counted the pinfall.
