In Saudi Arabia, two notable things happened.
1. Lacey Evans and Natalya has the first ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia.
This will undoubtedly be overshadowed by the next point in the short term:
2. A large portion of the WWE staff, including superstars, were prevented from leaving the country. It has been revealed by a wwe staffer that Vince Mcmahon got into an argument with Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman over money. Vince ordered the feed to the show cut, and the delay was the retaliation of MBS as an intimidation tactic.
Smackdown was changed up as a result of the missing stars, and it featured many NXT stars plus some superstars who had refused to go to Saudi Arabia, or were banned from travel, including Daniel Bryan and Sami Zayn.
This might be the last WWE show in Saudi Arabia as an increasing number of superstars will not work there again.
As well, if Vince had any integrity, the last consideration for a show in Saudi Arabia would have been the brutal assassination of Jamal Khashoggi.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
