WWE Raw Star Told To Bulk Up By Management

WWE Raw star Mansoor has revealed that he’s been asked by higher-ups to put on some muscle after he recently made his Raw debut.

The Saudi Arabian debuted on Raw on May 3, but hasn’t wrestled on the show since, and this could somewhat explain why.

In a column for Arab News, he wrote:

We are working on my image – new music, new logos etc. – because now I have been introduced, it is important to establish my character on the show. To do all of that on a huge stage such as Raw is a little intimidating, but very exciting.

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’s 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.

Mansoor’s debut was actually a loss to Sheamus and it looked like he may have been about to get involved in a US Title program but that seems to be just Humberto Carrillo and Ricochet for now.

He had a brief on-screen interaction with Mustafa Ali on last night’s Raw about not being able to trust anybody, but it remains to be seen what comes of that.
