5 WWE Superstars of Arab descent

#1. WWE Superstar Mansoor

WWE Superstar Mansoor is from Saudi Arabia

WWE Superstar Mansoor was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He is the first-ever Saudi wrestler to join WWE. The 25-year-old wrestled for a few years on the independent circuit before participating in a WWE tryout held in his home country ahead of the 2018's Greatest Royal Rumble.

Mansoor caught the eye of the WWE scouts and signed a developmental contract to join the performance center among a few other wrestlers. Three years later, the Saudi WWE Superstar is now on the main roster, competing on Monday Night RAW.

Like Zayn, Mansoor had a hard time relating to any of the WWE wrestlers growing up. That led him to set a goal for himself.

"The guys I saw on TV were cool, but there was nobody I could directly relate to, who was like me. Now, I am trying to represent that. It is honestly so big for me. I feel so sure that there will be hundreds of Saudi wrestlers after me now. That’s my goal," Mansoor told Vogue Man Arabia.

The Saudi wrestler admitted that his presence in WWE revolves around WWE’s commercial relationship with his country. However, he insisted it did not affect his WWE character.

"Of course my being here revolves around WWE’s commercial relationship with Saudi Arabia, but I’m not coming out on a camel to Arab music, wearing traditional dress. They could do that, but they don’t because they just want me to be me," he added in his interview with Vogue Man Arabia.

Mansoor is currently allied with Mustafa Ali on RAW. Last Monday, Ali helped the Saudi superstar defeat MACE.
