When people tell you to break a leg, they don’t actually mean it. But that’s been the situation with WWE Superstar Saquon Shugars as of late.
Formerly known as Lucky Ali, Shugars made his debut for NXT at a live event on February 10, 2024. He wrestled three more matches — two on other live events and one on NXT Level Up on March 19th against Tavion Heights — before suffering an injury.
Over the past few months, Shugars has posted on social media about his broken knee, poking fun at it, calling himself Unlucky Ali and trying to find random rides to NXT shows and Performance Center training.

Today, Shugars actually put up a GoFundMe link titled “Get Shugars back on his feet :(“, saying Shawn Michaels and Matt Bloom won’t let him work due to his broken knee.

At the time of this posting, John Cena donated $300, three anonymous donations amounted to $39 more, and Jakara Jackson donated $65 with a message of “We miss u boo !!”
However, it seems this was still just another joke, as Shugars disabled new donations to the fundraiser.
