WWE Crown Jewel 2021: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
10. Riyadh Rejects Mansoor
Even Mansoor's hometown folks are likely getting sick of his babyface hero act by now.
WWE will probs stick the guy out there for the opener on Thursday, and it could bomb. Will Saudi boo Mansoor? Unlikely, but they could sit on their hands and show complete apathy towards his match with Mustafa Ali - more fans will be excited to see Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Becky Lynch etc.
Poor Manny might find himself fighting an uphill battle to keep that stadium onside. Here's the thing: WWE has pounded the 'he's one of you - he's your very own WWE superstar' mantra so hard that peeps are bound to get sick of it eventually.
Crown Jewel could be a sobering moment for the soon-to-be SmackDown tag man then. Eyebrows would be raised backstage if Riyadh snoozed its way through his clash with Ali, but WWE would only have themselves to blame for relentlessly playing that homecoming hero card.
