There would be interest from WWE in having Ronaldo at their event in Saudi Arabia
Cristiano Ronaldo and WWE
After his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo is having interesting approaches from brands that previously would have sounded unreal. Now, according to Sportkeeda, there is a specific interest from WWE, the famous wrestling company, in having Cristiano Ronaldo at its event to be held in Saudi Arabia. Now, the player could go from the courts to the ring, although his participation may be limited to a segment and not to a fight as such.
WWE has been characterized by having important celebrities and athletes in its past. Such is the case of Money Mayweather, Logan Paul, Bad Bunny, Trump, Snoop Dogg, or even their own fighters who have become famous actors such as The Rock and Dave Bautista. However, Ronaldo’s presence is not as easy as expected.
According to information from specialized sites such as Observer, the company TKO, which also owns the UFC, would have it planned for the ‘Crown Jewel’ event, which will take place in the Arab country. And that among his guests will be John Cena and Dwayne Johnson, who would be in contact with the Portuguese to convince him to participate as an ‘ambassador’. It would be about taking advantage of the great relationship between the two to try to reach some kind of agreement for this event in Arabia.
Will Cristiano accept the invitation?
According to Fightful Select, there are real chances that an agreement will be reached. However, it is highly unlikely that there will be a fight with the player. In fact, it could be similar to what has been done in the past with NFL or even Premier League footballers. Now, we must remember that in the past a soccer player like Wayne Rooney appeared on a WWE show. It was in November 2015, but he did not “fight”, he was only part of the WWE Universe giving a tremendous slap to Wade Barrett. Also, he could be a VIP guest, and be in the front row to witness the event with his family.
