This is actually pretty cool. Fans have come to expect that when WWE visits other countries, the eternally gifted 15-time champ John Cena will do his best to hype up the crowd with a promo in their language. But when WWE visited Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this week as a part of their ongoing international tour, it was the captain of hype Mojo Rawley that shocked everyone with a fluent pre-game speech in Arabic. Check it out:
The WWE Smackdown star’s real name is Dean Muhtadi, a 30-year-old born in Alexandria, Virginia of Arabic decent. He wrote on Instagram following the show: “Bucket List: Fire off a pre game speech in Arabic before a big match in the Middle East to honor my family’s heritage. Amazing feeling. Still hyped from it. Living the Dream!”
