The Undertaker introduces Pitbull at Saudi Arabia show fully in character before WWE Crown Jewel

Who had The Undertaker being the hype man for Mr. Worldwide on their 2021 bingo cards then?
Us neither, but that’s exactly what we got on Wednesday night when the WWE legend – on the eve of the company’s Crown Jewel show – stepped out on stage to introduced Pitbull for the hitmaker’s concert this week.
The Dead Man appeared in his iconic black hat and trench coat looking every inch the Phenom with a full moon on the big screen as his legendary theme music played in the background.
Addressing the fans in attendance, he said: ‘It is my extreme honour to introduce to you… a man that is known around the world. He is Mr. 305. He is Mr. Worldwide.
‘He is the Grammy Award-winning international superstar. Now Riyadh… let’s put your hands together and make some noise!’
At least ‘Taker is keeping busy in retirement.
There’s also now the question of whether or not this means fans can expect the former world champion to make an appearance at Crown Jewel this evening.
Reports suggest he won’t be on the show, and he hasn’t appeared on WWE TV since his retirement at Survivor Series, although the fact he’s been in the country suggests there’s at least a chance.
If nothing else, it seems a no-brainer for the company to have the legendary star step out for a one-off surprise appearance – but we’ll have to wait and see.

Undertaker – whose final fight was his Boneyard Match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 – is clearly enjoying his time away from the ring, and he popped up recently to offer Tyson Fury some words of support before his victory over Deontay Wilder.
He said: ‘I just wanted to reach out and wish you good luck on tomorrow night’s fight. Not that you need it, you’ve already smashed this guy really properly, and I have no doubt that you’re gonna do it again.
‘I just wanted you to know, I’m gonna be watching and I wanna see you drop this guy one more time. You smash this guy and when you’re looking over him, just for me, look over him and say, “Rest In Peace.” ‘
