5 WWE Superstars of Middle Eastern descent

#1 Mansoor

Mansoor is the first ever WWE Superstar from Saudi Arabia

Mansoor was one of the men introduced to the WWE Universe during the company's first pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia. This opened the door to the young Superstar’s career as a professional sports entertainer, and he became the first Saudi Arabian to ever compete inside the WWE ring.

What makes him more unique than the rest of Superstars in the list is the fact that he’s based in Saudi Arabia, unlike the others. Mansoor signed a developmental contract with the company and made history at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia by winning the largest Battle Royal in WWE history.

The young Superstar claims that watching Daniel Bryan and John Cena compete at SummerSlam 2013 inspired him to become a wrestler, and he began competing at the age of 18.

While Mansoor still has a long way to go, he is currently signed to NXT where he has managed to get a couple of matches even though they’ve ended in losses. At a time when WWE is trying to create a bigger base in Saudi Arabia, we could well see Mansoor become a top star for the company in the coming years and become an ambassador of the company in the Kingdom.
