WWE has an ongoing partnership with Saudi Arabia, which sees the country host two premium live events per year, which explains the arrival of The Undertaker.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s deal with Al Nassr includes outside opportunities, with Ronaldo appearing at a boxing event in Saudi Arabia alongside Conor McGregor in December.
On Wednesday, the Al-Nassr superstar posted a message on social media, thanking people for their birthday messages, after turning the last year of his 30s.
On Monday, Ronaldo marked the occasion by returning to training after recovering from a calf injury.
However, she had some time to celebrate with her family, posting a photo on Instagram with her partner Rodríguez, who recently turned 30, and four of her five children.
Alongside the image, he wrote: ‘Grateful to spend my 39th birthday in the best way possible: with my family and back on the training ground. Thank you all for the warm messages.”
In addition to three birthday cakes, Ronaldo also showed off a large bouquet of flowers that he was given.

Meanwhile, The Undertaker has not wrestled in WWE since 2020, when he defeated AJ Styles and officially retired from in-ring action.
He has appeared sporadically since then, facing LA Knight late last year in a match with the late Bray Wyatt, and then facing Bron Breakker in NXT.
While an appearance at this weekend’s Royal Rumble is unlikely, The Undertaker will be in town for the event and will perform his 1 deadMan show in Florida the following day.
