WWE: Cristiano Ronaldo is scheduled to perform on November 4 at a WWE event in Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to appear in a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) event after dazzling football fans with his magnificent abilities and tremendous goal-scoring prowess. It is yet unclear in what capacity Ronaldo will appear in WWE. According to media sources, WWE is presently negotiating a deal to have the Portuguese superstar perform at their Crown Jewel show on November 4 in Saudi Arabia. According to an AS story, WWE wants the former Manchester United footballer to appear as a superstar guest at the wrestling event.
WWE and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) united to form TKO earlier this month. According to reports, UFC owners Endeavor are interested in increasing Crown Jewel’s popularity and possible revenue by adding Ronaldo to the event. A significant appearance fee will be required to ensure Ronaldo’s participation.
Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, will not be the first professional footballer to appear on a WWE show. Former Norwich City player Grant Holt, German goalkeeper Tim Wiese, and former Wycombe Wanderers forward Adebayo Akinfenwa have all been in WWE shows in the past.

Former Manchester United teammate and ex-England international Wayne Rooney also appeared in WWE in 2015. Rooney got a front-row seat to the occurrence on the November 9, 2015 episode of Monday Night RAW. Rooney got into a scuffle with veteran wrestler Wade Barrett. In that WWE show in Manchester, the former Manchester United and Everton footballer hit Barrett.
Apollo Crews was recently asked about Cristiano Ronaldo’s appearance on the show. “It’s crazy, it’s not how you want to see a player, ’cause he’s [Cristiano Ronaldo] 37, 38?” I can confidently state that I do not believe the career will be revived. He’s not going to go to Saudi Arabia for two years and then suddenly have his career revived. The way things are going, it’s difficult to see that. One of the things you don’t want to see with such a talented player. However, it is what it is. I believe it’s fine as long as he gets to play the game. “It’s unfortunate,” said the former Intercontinental Champion to Metro.
Cristiano Ronaldo is now working in Saudi Arabia. After leaving Manchester United last season, the 38-year-old joined Saudi club Al Nassr. He has scored 27 goals in 31 games for the Riyadh-based club. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner led Al Nassr to their first Arab Club Champions Cup championship last month.
