Saudi Arabia has become an important destination for WWE Superstars to showcase their potential since 2018.

Events like The Greatest Royal Rumble, Crown Jewel and Super ShowDown have divided the opinions of the WWE Universe. However, the performances put on by the wrestlers themselves have entertained fans not only in Riyadh, but all across the world. The destination has also been a good money spinner for Vince McMahon's promotion.

With Crown Jewel 2021 just around the corner, WWE is set to put on another show of epic proportions. The biggest draw on the card is the Universal Championship match pinning two of the biggest names in the business - Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. With Paul Heyman's loyalties smack bang in the middle of it all, this promises to be a barnburner.

The Beast Incarnate holds a much envied record of being undefeated in this country which serves as the basis for the topic of this article. Here's a look at five WWE Superstars who are undefeated in Saudi Arabia:


#5 WWE Superstar - Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar has competed in four contests in Saudi Arabia, and won all of them.

The Beast Incarnate got the better of Roman Reigns in a Steel Cage Match in 2018 at The Greatest Royal Rumble to retain his Universal Title. The same year, at Crown Jewel, he beat Braun Strowman for the vacant Universal Championship.

At Crown Jewel 2019, Brock made Cain Velasquez submit to the Kimura Lock and at Super ShowDown 2020, he destroyed Ricochet in a contest that lasted exactly a minute and a half.

With such a stellar record in Saudi Arabia, Lesnar certainly seems unstoppable as he faces The Tribal Chief again in just over a week's time. The roles have been reversed this time as Lesnar challenges the undisputed reign of Roman Reigns as Universal Champion. A contest that will surely keep the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats.

#4 WWE Superstar Mansoor

WWE Superstar Mansoor has earned a clean sheet so far in all the bouts he has contested in his motherland.

At Super ShowDown in 2019, Mansoor won a 51-man Battle Royal, eliminating Elias. The SmackDown Superstar then went on to beat Ceasro at the Crown Jewel event the same year. He further cemented his legacy by pinning Dolph Ziggler the following year at the second Super ShowDown event.

Mansoor will be part of the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view where he squares off against Mustafa Ali in a recently started feud. His fans would surely expect the young superstar to keep his winning record intact.


#3 WWE Superstar - Bayley

Super Showdown 2020 saw Bayley and Naomi create history as it was the first time the SmackDown Women's Championship was defended in Saudi Arabia.

The contest was action packed with both women giving it their all. Ultimately, Bayley was able to retain her title with a facebuster for the three-count. As a result, she became the only female WWE Superstar to be undefeated in Saudi Arabia.

The latest edition of Crown Jewel will see two epic encounters from the women's division. Becky Lynch will defend her SmackDown Women's Championship against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair in a Triple-Threat match. We will also witness the finals of the maiden Queen's Crown Tournament, to anoint the first Queen of WWE.

#2 WWE Superstar John Cena

WWE Superstar John Cena had just a solitary match in Saudi Arabia at The Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018.

The Cenation Leader was up against Triple H in a contest that saw these superstars give their very best. Fans in attendance enjoyed every moment as Cena kicked out of The Pedigree and The Game managed to overcome the Attitude Adjustment. Cena then nailed Triple H with another AA, which was enough to seal the deal as he celebrated with the crowd after the bout.


#1 Heavyweight Boxer Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury defeated Braun Strowman on his professional wrestling debut at WWE Crown Jewel in 2019. Their rivalary had gathered quite a bit of steam leading up to the bout.

The Monster Among Men dominated parts of the contest but a stiff right hand from Fury was enough to seal the deal as Strowman was counted out. This was Tyson's only appearance in a WWE pay-per-view as his record stands unblemished.

The British boxer teased a match with Drew McIntyre last year, and the Scottish Superstar recently hinted at a possible pay-per-view in the UK, as well as a Fury return. If this contest sees the light of day, it will surely be a treat for the WWE Universe to savor.
