WWE officials want rising star Mansoor to put on some muscle mass ahead of his introduction into the RAW roster.
He has been working with a new personal trainer, the same one used by WWE United States Champion Sheamus, to increase his muscle mass. It was noted that WWE officials are also working with Mansoor on a new theme song and logos.

After working WWE 205 Live and WWE Main Event, the Saudi Superstar signed with the RAW brand earlier this month but lost his debut to Sheamus in a non-title bout. He has not made an appearance on RAW since, but he did beat Cedric Alexander in a Main Event match on May 20. Mansoor also admitted that he was shocked after getting a chance to fight the Celtic Warrior on RAW.
“I am growing, learning and having these huge life experiences, and it is bizarre to think about how crazy this journey has been. The transition from performing on NXT to performing on RAW or SmackDown is so big. To even appear on the show once puts you in such an exclusive club so I take it as a privilege.”
“One of the things WWE said is they would like me to put on some muscle mass, and right now I am working with Sheamus’ personal trainer, who has been really helpful. I am counting my macronutrients and calories, and recording all of my reps and sets in the gym. It is crazy how much difference writing stuff down and tracking it makes,” he added (h/t Wrestling Edge)
Mansoor signed with the company in 2018 and became the first-ever Saudi Arabia-born wrestler to have competed in WWE.
