6. Mansoor Went 49 Matches Unbeaten

In typical WWE fashion, what could've been an unexpectedly brilliant storyline, that seemingly came of nowhere, was very quickly squandered once somebody let the boss know what he was actually dealing with.

For those not in the know (and nobody would blame you for not being), Saudi Arabian star Mansoor went on something of a winning streak which stretched all the way back to September 2019 in the lead-up to his Monday Night Raw debut this year. All in all, the star hadn't been on the losing side for a staggering 49 matches (!). That was, until Vince McMahon got wind of this feat.

Just like that, instead of capitalising on a record that could've grown into one of the most compelling an unlikely organic underdog tales to have graced the "main roster" in years, Mansoor picked up an "L" via DQ thanks to Humberto Carillo interfering with his match against Sheamus on May 3.

Even Mansoor was a little miffed by this typically bizarre red brand booking, telling Sportskeeda, "Yeah! How anticlimactic is that!?"

Mansoor, like recently debuting Raw colleague Karrion Kross, learned the hard way that undefeated streaks mean diddly squat to the man up top.
