The Undertaker pulled from WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia

The Undertaker has been told he will not be required for the WWE's Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia.

Wrestling legend Taker has not been booked for the event, marking the first time he won't have competed on WWE shows in the country.

The Phenom beat Rusev in a casket match at the Greatest Royal Rumble and headlined Crown Jewel with Kane against Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a notoriously bad match.

But his disastrous bout with Goldberg at Super ShowDown in June was even worse and neither men are expected at this month's Crown Jewel.

Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez are huge outside names scheduled to be on the show, with WWE bosses seemingly seeing Taker's presence as unnecessary.

Fury is set to land a huge £11.9million when he takes on Braun Strowman at the pay-per-view.

The Undertaker's last match in WWE saw him partner Roman Reigns to see off Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre at Extreme Rules.

He was recently spotted at a Glasgow branch of Nando's tucking into some chicken.

The 54-year-old - real name Mark Calaway - was in Scotland to appear at a Comic Con event in Glasgow, where fans were charged £500 for a special meet and greet.

One fan wrote on Twitter : “Imagine sitting in Nando's and you see The Undertaker eating his era mild wrap.”

Another wrote: “Who knew The Undertaker likes a cheeky Nando's”.
