New match for WWE Crown Jewel
Hometown star Mansoor vs. Mustafa Ali is now official for WWE Crown Jewel from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This week’s WWE RAW saw Ali and Mansoor take a loss to Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander. The tension between Ali and Mansoor continued after the match, and Ali later attacked Mansoor during a backstage interview with Kevin Patrick.
As seen in the post-RAW video below, Patrick interviewed Mansoor about the attack and the challenge was issued for Crown Jewel. WWE has since confirmed the match.
“Mansoor, I am challenging you to a match at Crown Jewel, because when I beat you and I embarrass you in front of your friends, and your family, and your countrymen, you will know the pain and the shame that I live with every day. You’ll experience it, and then you will finally learn what I’ve been trying to tell you since day one,” Ali said.
