II just can't wrap my head around this one. So bizarre and out of left field.
At least it's a far better start time for us in the UK.

50 superstars 1 winner but I have to wonder what does the winner even get out of this 50 Man Royal Rumble Match? Like what is the prize? A championship match of the winner's choosing at SummerSlam 2018 in the main event or do they get the coveted #30 spot in the 2019 Royal Rumble Match?

Aside from this being a multi-million dollar private party for the Saudi elite, what point does this serve? Does the winner get like a title shot at Backlash?
If there is no point why is it even on the Network?

If there is no point why is it even on the Network? People complain and want house shows such as Starrcade or the MSG shows, hell even India back in December on the network and we’re finally getting a international super show with 7 titles on the line, a 50 man Royal Rumble and it’s taking place in a stadium that can hold 60,000 people and people STILL question this?

If it was in the UK, nobody would be questioning it. Because it's in a county that's just now letting women attend ing soccer games as a personal freedom, it falls pretty hard on anyone who believes in... well, humanity, I guess, but at the very least ethics. If you're able to ignore an ethical dilemma at the expense of your entertainment, so be it. I wear Jordan's and don't think twice about the little kid that put them together. We all have our hills to die on. Explain to me why it offends you that people are offended by a county that has an anti-Western and extremist interpretation of Islam, openly funds terrorism, still treats women like slaves, forbids free speech and suppresses freedom of religion, and holds the world's largest oil reserves hostage instead of being the world leader in renewable energy? All the power to you for not caring where WWE goes. But just like the name of the Women's Battle Royal, sometimes it's important not to just take actions at face value without asking why someone or something that you support is making decisions that don't reflect your own personal belief system, and in this case, the belief system of most of the civilized world. Nobody needs you to feel the exact same way, but the least you can do is not act ignorant to why people find this whole deal unnecessary.

There was nothing ignorant about my post, he asked why it’s on the Network and I gave him an answer. Would people feel better if this didn’t air on the Network or if it didn’t happen at all? If people are so against this happening then I’d tell them don’t watch but of course they’re going to regardless.

If people are so against this happening then I’d tell them don’t watch but of course they’re going to regardless. I didn't say your post was ignorant. I said you don't get to act ignorant. I know you know why people have a problem with the location of this event. That's why you keep posting that SpongeBob meme, because you think it's funny. And to answer your question, I'd say people would simply feel better if this wasn't taking place in a country that has ties to the attack on 9/11. But I agree with you, completely. If you have a problem with it, don't watch. From my perspective, it'd be a whole lot cooler if this was happening someplace in the UK or Australia and we could collectively just be happy for the fans and for getting such a fun show on the Network. Well I'm gonna watch it. Daniel Bryan is in the rumble. That's enough for me. What does he get if he wins?

Pretty strange that they've not announced what the winner of the Rumble even gets. It's an odd one, as you'd think putting Daniel Bryan in a Match where he could get a World Title shot would be anti-constructive to WWE's plans and only derail the Roman train. It's looking daringly obvious now though that Roman didn't win at Wrestlemania, so that he could get a good reaction from the crowd in Saudi Arabia. Pretty alarming that you need to take the guy who's supposed to be your top babyface off of American soil to get a positive reaction.
