Will Cristiano Ronaldo Be at King & Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia?

The greatest of All Time Cristiano Ronaldo has been a long-rumored name in the WWE realm to make a one-off appearance in the squared circle. Given Saudi Arabia is the current league home of the Portuguese bigwig, he will probably choose any of the Saudi Arabian events to dip his feet into the world of pro wrestling for the first time. Along with this line, rumor mills heavily suggested a Crown Jewel appearance for the 39-year-old last year. The tides went up to WWE vesting big money on the eminent soccer star to boost Crown Jewel’s profile and potential revenue.

Despite all the hype, the Al Nassr star broke the hearts of millions who were keenly waiting to see an eye-soothing football-wrestling collaboration during November’s PLE. Is there any chance for their pain to be compensated on 25th May, during the King and Queen PLE emanating from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia?

What are the odds of Cristiano Ronaldo attending the event?

After taking over the city of Philadelphia with a jaw-dropping WrestleMania and blowing off the French crowd in a star-studded Backlash, WWE returns to the desert land after 6 months. Almost the entire match card, including the thrilling bookings of Jey Uso vs Gunther, Sami Zayn vs Chad Gable, and Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, seems to be primed. That said, the main cynosure of the night, the champion vs champion between Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes‘, lacks intrigue as the result is seemingly obvious.

So, WWE might want to add some more appealing factors to the card and when we are in Saudi Arabia, what can be more exhilarating than having the great CR7 on board as an honorary guest? While there’s no official word on that, it seems feasible if we look at the schedule of the former Manchester United star for that week. Ronaldo has matches on the 23rd and 27th of May, which implies he will be free on the 25th of May and a last-minute scrap like Crown Jewel won’t likely happen.

The idea will also be beneficial for bringing more eyeballs and more growth to Saudi Arabian entertainment sports, hence validating the very purpose of the 10-year strategic deal between WWE and KSA. Meanwhile, WWE’s Saudi return is significant in more than one way.

WWE’s Saudi Arabian PLE will be a landmark in women’s development

Since 2018, the Stamford-based company has continued hosting large-scale events in Saudi Arabia. That said, the country’s controversial political stance and series of disputes made fans and veterans question Triple H‘s decision. But despite all the brickbats, both parties (WWE and Saudi Arabian Sports Authority) stick to their shared motive to improve the overall condition of entertainment sports in the country.

According to WWE veteran, Bully Ray, Triple H is a visionary in this case more than you believe. Ray noted how crowning a Queen of the Ring in such a country where women are poorly represented in many cases is itself a big step towards women’s empowerment. It will also rightly demonstrate WWE’s women’s revolution through the years. Besides all the constructive angles, Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence will be an ice on the cake for all the fans, performers, and organizers.
