In what is perhaps one of the most bizarre crossovers in recent memory, the seven-time world champion recreated his famous ring walk before kick-off. He was even seen in the infamous 'deadman' attire for the first time since he officially announced his retirement in 2020.

Cristiano Ronaldo was among many who were left awestruck by WWE superstar The Undertaker making an appearance during the Riyadh Season Cup final on Thursday.

The legendary wrestler walked out to his iconic music, lifting the trophy as Ronaldo watched on laughing ahead of kick-off. 

Not only the fans but Ronaldo was exhilarated at the presence of the WWE wrestler and could not hide his happiness as his reactions were captured by multiple cameras.

After the pre-match spectacle came to an end, the top two in the Saudi Pro League got down to business as league leaders Al-Hilal took on Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes in Thursday's final of the exhibition Riyadh Season Cup but couldn't prevent Al Halal winning 2-0 with goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Salem Al-Dawsari.

AL Nassr are second in the Saudi Pro League, seven points adrift of leaders Al Hilal after 19 games.
