WWE Crown Jewel 2019: Ranking every match from worst to best 

3: Cesaro vs Mansoor

Cesaro and Mansoor put on a show for the Saudi audience

In perhaps the least surprising moment of the night, Cesaro managed to make one of the night's most irrelevant matches into one of the best matches on the card.

Mansoor played his part well here and the crowd was red hot to see what he could bring to the table. The two men put on a great brilliant encounter that featured plenty of back and forths and plenty of near-falls.

If there was one thing that held this match back though, it was the fact that the ending was predictable and it removed any sense of drama from proceedings. Mansoor is always going to be booked to pick up the victory in Riyadh. He deserves a lot of credit here though and he matched Cesaro move for move, with the veteran selling for him expertly.

While it may not be great to see Cesaro losing all the time, his matches over the last few months have been excellent and he seems to be settling into his role as the veteran who gets other guys over. Mansoor should get some more exposure on NXT after impressing in this match though and we could see him compete in a bigger match next time the WWE heads to Saudi Arabia.
