Former WWE star and current AEW/Ring of Honor star Mansoor recently shared that he is bilingual in a rather unique way during during an appearance for CMLL Informa.
He appeared on the August 7th edition of the show and commented on competing in the CMLL Grand Prix, which will mark his in-ring debut for the promotion. He said:
“My name is Mansoor. I’m bi a lot of things, and lingual is one of them. Because on August 23rd, I will be making my Arena Mexico debut for CMLL, and I fully intend to win that Grand Prix.”
Mansoor’s comment is actually a reference to Triple H, who made a similar comment during an appearance on commentary during the Attitude Era.
When asked if he was bi-lingual, The Game said, “I’m bi a lot of things but lingual ain’t one of them” before questioning if he meant what he said.

Mansoor became the first Saudi Arabian wrestler to compete for the company and he simply went by the name Mansoor for the duration of his five-year career with the WWE. However, he was released last year.
He was being scouted at a tryout in Saudi Arabia and he signed a contract. He made his first television appearance at the 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah. He later made his in-ring debut at an NXT live event in a losing effort.
At Super ShowDown in Jeddah in 2019, he was gained popularity after winning a 51-Man Battle Royal and continued to be involved in events in Saudi Arabia. These included winning singles matches against Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler.
In May 2021, he was officially announced as signing onto the Raw brand which led to a singles match against then-US champion Sheamus. His most prominent storyline saw him team up with wrestler Mace to be part of the Maximum Male Models stable, before his release from the company.
