The WWE do have an ongoing partnership with Saudi Arabia, which sees the country host two premium live events per year, explaining The Undertaker’s arrival.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s deal with Al Nassr includes outside opportunities, with Ronaldo appearing at a boxing event in Saudi Arabia alongside Conor McGregor in December.

On Wednesday, the Al-Nassr superstar has posted a message on social media, thanking people for their birthday messages, after entering the final year of his 30s.

On Monday, Ronaldo marked the occasion with a return to training after recovering from a calf injury.

He did though get some time to celebrate with his family, posting a picture on Instagram with his partner Rodriguez – who recently turned 30 – and four of his five children.

Along with the picture, he wrote: ‘Grateful to spend my 39th birthday the best way possible: with my family and back on the training pitch. Thank you all for the warm messages.’

As well as three birthday cakes, Ronaldo also showed off a large bouquet of flowers he was given.

Meanwhile, The Undertaker hasn’t wrestled in WWE since 2020, when he beat AJ Styles and officially retired from in-ring action.

He has appeared sporadically since, clashing with LA Knight towards the end of last year in an engagement with the late Bray Wyatt, and later facing off against Bron Breakker in NXT.

While an appearance in this weekend’s Royal Rumble match is unlikely, The Undertaker will be in town for the event, performing his 1 deadMan show in Florida the day after.
