1) Backstage Note On Mansoor’s Winning Streak
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer spoke about Mansoor’s winning streak on WWE television (mostly on 205 Live and WWE Main Event). Meltzer says that the reason for the winning streak is to “appease the benefactors in Saudi Arabia”.
Here is what Meltzer wrote about Mansoor:
“The Mansoor winning streak, which is never referred to as much but he’s on Main Event almost every week winning and hasn’t lost a match since August 23, 2019, losing in Sanford, FL to Dominik Dijakovic (and had a TV loss to Damien Priest the week earlier) is appease the benefactors in Saudi Arabia. It is interesting politically that they would have the win streak, but never acknowledge it in the U.S., and not put it on Raw or Smackdown with the idea of attempting to push him as a legit international star”
My Take:
- It looks like you can expect to see Mansoor keep winning on 205 Live and Main Event over these next several months. It will be interesting to see if WWE ever brings him to RAW or Smackdown.
