Why No One Has Noticed This Secret Wrestling Streak

Which WWE talent is in the midst of a shocking undefeated run?

It may not quite be Bill Goldberg’s famed streak, but one WWE superstar has quietly amassed a rather impressive undefeated run.

That WWE superstar is none other than Mansoor.

As picked up on by our very own Simon Miller, the Saudi Arabian star hasn’t lost a match since August 2019 – which means he’s edging in on two years of undefeated in-ring action. The exact specifics of the sheer numbers of Mansoor’s undefeated run is slightly uncertain. But what we do know, is that the 25-year-old hasn’t been bested in at least 41 matches, although that number could actually be as high as 45.

Mansoor was first seen by WWE audiences as part of 2018’s Greatest Royal Rumble ever. Having impressed during a Jeddah, Saudi Arabia tryout, the rookie was signed up by the promotion and sent to the WWE Performance Center. Since then, the clearly talented star has appeared on NXT, NXT UK, WWE Main Event and most recently as part of the 205 Live roster. Then there’s 2019’s Super ShowDown special, where the returning Mansoor won a 51-man Battle Royal in front of his hometown crowd.

Could Mansoor be in the midst of a Goldberg-lite 173-0 streak? Could this end up being abruptly ended by some monster, ala Tatanka’s run being killed by Ludvig Borga? Or will this surprising streak just be quietly ignored by mainstream WWE?
