Saudi Superstar Mansoor said he feels 鈥渁mazing鈥� after being elevated to one of the WWE鈥檚 most high-profile and popular brands.

Last week, Mansoor signed to WWE RAW, a weekly show, in what was a huge step in his career to date.

Mansoor鈥檚 first match as an official member of the RAW roster saw him face the experienced Irishman Sheamus, and he is now looking forward to taking on some of WWE鈥檚 biggest names on a regular basis.

鈥淚t feels amazing,鈥� said Mansoor, when asked for his thoughts on being promoted to RAW. 鈥淚鈥檝e been on Super ShowDown, I鈥檝e been on Crown Jewel, and those were big shows. But what I wanted most was to be consistent, and to be on a weekly program where I could show the world that I can perform every single week, not just once every few months.鈥�

鈥淎gainst Sheamus, with it being my first match (on RAW), it was a really good welcoming committee. There is nobody tougher than Sheamus. He鈥檚 probably one of the toughest men in the entire business, not just WWE.

鈥淗e loves to fight,鈥� he added. 鈥淓ven when I was hitting him with my elbows, I could feel the pain in my arm. He鈥檚 tough, he鈥檚 iron, and it鈥檚 important that I face people like that to challenge myself, and prove to the world, and the WWE universe, that I belong.鈥�

Having earned a WWE contract after impressing at a tryout event in 2018, Mansoor鈥檚 rise to RAW has been rapid, and one which owes so much to the expert training he has received behind the scenes 鈥� along with good old-fashioned hard work.

鈥淚鈥檝e been training at the Performance Center in Orlando for about three years, and it鈥檚 been invaluable, the most essential experience I鈥檝e ever had, to prepare me for this,鈥� Mansoor said.

鈥淭he coaches are amazing, the facilities are amazing. I was lucky enough to be involved in matches on Main Event, wrestling guys like Drew Gulak and Angel Garza, getting experience with them.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 know for sure if I was going to move up to RAW, I just knew that they wanted me to wrestle on Main Event to see how I did,鈥� Mansoor said. 鈥淎nd then, on the day itself, I found out I was being signed to RAW. The preparation time was short, but in WWE anything can change at any time, so you always have to be ready.鈥�
