WWE star Ali posted a short statement on Twitter commenting on his recent sold-out meet-and-greet signing that was held in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ali reveals that his Pakistani name and the color of his skin has always been met with negativity, but this event was all about people showing him love, and him expressing his gratitude.

Days like this are always gonna be wild to me. Growing up, my name, my background, my color, was always met with negativity. Today, in Charlotte, NC, I had a sold out signing. The last thing anyone cared about was my name, my background, my color. They just wanted to show me love.
