Monsoour Makes Impression At WWE Greatest Royal Rumble
Rookie shines in Jeddah.
New recruit Mansoour is being tipped for a big future in WWE after a strong debut at last night's Greatest Royal Rumble.
Formerly Manny Faberino on the independent circuit, Mansoour made his first on-screen appearance for the company in Jeddah, joining fellow rookies Nassar, Husaiin and Fisal to chase off The Daivairi Brothers. The segment drew a big pop from the local crowd, in part due to its allusion to real-life geopolitical tensions.
Obvious reservations over that apart, Mansoour looked to be the obvious star of the "local" quartet (according to Cage Side Seats, he is actually a native of California). He appeared much more comfortable on the microphone than anyone else, displaying the sort of charisma typically required for a long and fruitful WWE career.
As for his chops in the ring, we weren't given too much of a glimpse at them on Friday, but if these highlights from his time performing as Faberino are anything to go by, he may well be the complete package. Here's hoping that company heads grant him more opportunities to showcase his talent over the months ahead.
