WWE Crown Jewel 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
10. Mustafa Ali Beats Mansoor
Mansoor has been Teflon in his homeland.
Wins over the likes of Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler and others went over rather well in Saudi, which nobody will be shocked to hear. Things have changed since the guy's only role was to play local hero for his hometown crowd though - he's a bonafide Raw star now, and it's time to taste defeat in Riyadh.
What do WWE have to gain from putting Mansoor over yet again here? The answer, of course, is nothing. His on/off tag story with Mustafa Ali has been based around rookie mistakes, and it's imperative that Mansoor makes another one in front of his own fans. Otherwise, what's the point in this match?
It must be used to further the story, not end it. Mansoor and Ali need something like this to hang their storytelling hat on back in the United States. They can't leave Crown Jewel with Mustafa on the losing end - that wouldn't make a lick of sense.
