Mansoor’s Raw Debut was classic WWE
Share this story
This stretched back to 2019, and included house shows (remember those?), NXT,
205 Live, and
Main Event. Highlights of the streak were wins over Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler at events in Saudi Arabia. It was also suspected that was a reason behind his run of wins, as the Saudi-born Mansoor is allegedly a favorite of members of the Royal Family.
So when the wrestler who won a 50 man Battle Royal at
Super ShowDown 2019 arrived on
Raw last night - complete with a backstage scene announcing he’d been signed to red brand, and setting up a match with United States champion Sheamus - you may have been tricked into thinking Mansoor was being set-up as a player on Monday nights.
