Smackdown was quite good, but IMO it felt like a bit of a taste of what NXT does nearly every single week.
Anyway, on that Saudi Arabia trip, I think it's only a matter of time when that event is held with the same notoriety as the flight from hell, the Montreal screwjob, and the steroid scandal. This is something WWE is going to desperately try to cover-up (maybe not cover-up so much as minimalize the significance), particularly due to their involvement with the Saudi Vision 2030 propaganda campaign. I don't see the WWE being very successful in this because WWE superstars are going to be more vocal in the future about not wanting to go.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
