18 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (Aug 2)

10. “From Riyadh” (And That's All)

Ring announcer Mike Rome curiously said that Mansoor is from "Riyadh". What's odd about that, you may ask? Riyadh is in Saudi Arabia, so one would think that WWE would proudly show off the young wrestler's international flavour.

Uh uh.

The commentary team didn't even mention Saudi once either. That's also strange, because there was a time when Mansoor's only characteristic was that he's the first breakout star from Saudi Arabia. Looks like that has been shelved for now.
