Cristiano Ronaldo In Talks For A Potential WWE Appearance

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly in talks with WWE for a potential appearance. However, he may not appear at the Crown Jewel event on Saturday as Al-Nassr play on the same day.

According to Fightful, the Portuguese football star engaged in discussions with the wrestling brand for an appearance at the Crown Jewel event set for November 4 in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, these plans had to be put on hold due to Al-Nassr’s fixture against Al-Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League.

WWE has a history of featuring celebrities from various fields, with the aim of expanding their global reach. In 2019, boxing superstar Tyson Fury had a match at a similar event in Saudi Arabia.

The buzz was that Ronaldo might join forces with the legendary John Cena, known not just in wrestling but also in Hollywood. This collaboration would have boosted both the WWE brand and Ronaldo’s personal brand significantly.

Furthermore, Ronaldo’s girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, has been part of a Netflix special delving into their relationship. This would have given WWE additional exposure.

There’s still hope that Ronaldo could make a cameo appearance in the crowd once his Al-Nassr commitment ends. However, if this doesn’t materialise, WWE are determined to continue discussions for a future collaboration and expand their influence into new territories.
