Wrestling star Mansoor Al Shehail has revealed on Instagram that he is now a married man.
Al Shehail, 25, is the first athlete from Saudi Arabia to ever compete in the globally renowned WWE, which he does using just his first name.
He uploaded a photo on Tuesday with the caption: “Here’s to forever.”
No other details about the nuptials have been revealed.
While he didn’t tag his wife, other posts show that he’s been in a relationship with designer Mia Carey for some time.
The couple and their two dogs live in Orlando, Florida, US, which is also home to the WWE Performance Centre, where newly signed wrestlers often train to hone their skills.
The WWE team also congratulated Al Shehail on the news via the company's website.
"Mansoor has battled for his dreams throughout his WWE tenure with a blockbuster 51-Man Battle Royal win at WWE SuperShowdown and an impressive streak of victories on 205 Live," reads the article.
"Now, the Scrappy Superstar has realised another with his latest announcement.
"WWE Digital wishes the happy couple a wonderful future together."
Who is WWE superstar Mansoor?
Al Shehail made his WWE debut in 2018 after taking part in a tryout in Jeddah. He was picked along with seven other competitors to sign a contract with the company.
He made his in-ring debut later that year in an NXT live event. Since then, he's enjoyed career highlights during WWE events held in Saudi Arabia, where he is currently undefeated.
In 2019, Al Shehail won the 51-Man Battle Royal at WWE’s Super ShowDown event in Jeddah. Later that year, at Crown Jewel, he defeated Cesaro in a one-on-one match. Returning to Riyadh for the 2020 Super ShowDown event, he also defeated Dolph Ziggler in a singles match.
In an interview with The National in 2019, he talked about how it felt to be the first person from his home country to compete on this level in the sport.
“It feels amazing, but it’s also sort of the same pressure I felt when I originally got picked to be a WWE superstar. It’s like, ‘Wow my dreams are coming true – this is the best feeling of my life’, but there’s also the pressure of expectations placed on my shoulders,” he said.
“It’s a weight that I’m both happy with and struggling to bear, because, when I grew up wanting to be a WWE superstar, I never really thought of it under the context of being the first Saudi superstar, so that’s a whole other historical weight that is added to the pressure.”

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026
1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years
If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.
2. E-invoicing in the UAE
Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption.
3. More tax audits
Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks.
4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime
Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.
5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit
There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.
6. Further transfer pricing enforcement
Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes.
7. Limited time periods for audits
Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion.
8. Pillar 2 implementation
Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.
9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services
Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations.
10. Substance and CbC reporting focus
Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.
