Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned by The Undertaker’s appearance during Al Nassr vs Al Hilal match
During the Riyadh Season Cup final, Cristiano Ronaldo and many others were enthralled by The Undertaker's surprising visit. The famed 'Deadman' performed a ceremonial ritual before the match between Al-Hilal and Ronaldo's squad, Al-Nassr. Mimicking his WWE dramatic entrances, the stadium went dark as a big moon filled the screen and lasers flashed in all directions. Amidst the scene, The Undertaker appeared on the pitch, making his way to a podium where he displayed the prized trophy, hoisting it for all to view its glittering silver surface.
Ronaldo, like other fans, couldn't contain his joy at the sight of the WWE superstar, and his responses were filmed by multiple cameras. WWE and the General Entertainment Authority, which organises the Riyadh Season Cup, collaborated to bring The Undertaker to the football match.
While Ronaldo enjoyed The Undertaker's appearance, his on-field performance fell short of his off-field exhilaration, as he failed to score. Ultimately, Al-Hilal won 2-0 over Al-Nassr at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Serbia started the scoring for Al-Hilal, and Salem Aldawsari scored the game-winner.
