WWE icon The Undertaker stunned Al-Nassr talisman Cristiano Ronaldo by lifting the Riyadh Season Cup trophy during their club friendly against Al-Hilal on Thursday. The Undertaker made his way towards the ground with his trademark entry song playing in the background as the lights in the Kingdom Arena went off while a giant moon was projected on the screen and laser lights were flashed in the entire stadium.
Ronaldo was left starstruck as The Undertaker walked through the stage and unveiled the trophy in front of the fans present at the stadium. The Portuguese talisman had a smile on his face and was seen chatting with his teammate while Al-Nassr was standing in a line and The Undertaker lifted the trophy.

It was the first appearance for Ronaldo after recovering from an injury. However, it did not help the visitors much as they were blanked 0-2 by Al-Hilal. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Salem Al-Dawasari struck once each in the first half to seal the deal for Al-Hilal in the friendly final.
The final saw the top two teams in the Saudi Arabian Pro League face off each other after they defeated Inter Miami in their previous games of the competition.
Following their loss, AL-Hilal are gearing up to face Al-Feiha in the AFC Champions League knockout tie. The first league of the match will take place on February 14 while the return leg will take place a week later.
Ronaldo, 39, will be a key figure in the match. The five-time Ballon d”Or winner was the top goal scorer in the world last year, netting 54 times.
