Cristiano Ronaldo as a WWE star! Utopia? Not at all! An american organization wants him as a performer during a gala held in Saudi Arabia

In recent days, rumours have started to circulate about the possibility of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo entering the world of professional wrestling in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) organization. The dream of many fans of this great show could soon become a reality.

Cristiano Ronaldo the star of a wrestling gala?

Cristiano Ronaldo to star in the american WWE! Doesn’t that seem like an utopian idea? Not at all. The American organization that organizes professional wrestling galas is considering an interesting idea.

Ronaldo has become the most prominent sports personality in Saudi Arabia after his move from Manchester United to Al-Nassr. It was this transfer that triggered an avalanche of signings of star footballers in the summer transfer window.

And it is WWE that is looking to take advantage of this popularity by inviting Ronaldo as a “superstar guest” to this year’s Crown Jewel show, which is scheduled to take place on November 4 in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo is not the first star footballer to make his way to WWE. Of the most famous ones, it was his former teammate Wayne Rooney who slapped Wade Barrett at the WWE Raw 2015 gala in Manchester.

Spanish newspaper AS was the first to bring the news to the public, but Ronaldo himself has not yet confirmed his participation. Should Ronaldo accept the invitation, he would join other sports stars like Ronda Rousey or Mike Tyson who have already tasted the magic of professional wrestling.

The potential arrival of the Portuguese cannonballer could be a monumental event for the entire wrestling community. WWE believes it could significantly increase the overall revenue from the event.

A lucrative WWE-Saudi Arabia partnership

For WWE, this could mean a significant increase in profits as Cristiano Ronaldo is not just a football icon but one of the most famous personalities in the entire world. WWE’s Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia has become a lucrative venture. Cristiano Ronaldo’s possible participation would add another dimension of interest.

The fifth edition is the tenth event overall under WWE’s lucrative contract with Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo would certainly receive a significant bonus for participating in such an event, but that wouldn’t matter to the event organizers as the revenues could reach huge heights.

The possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo stepping into a wrestling ring is exciting for WWE fans and football fans alike. The Portuguese star’s possible participation would promise a clash of two worlds that could redefine the entire sports show.
