This is the rumor going around right now and I really hope they rethink this idea. How ing stupid could they be to have this in a country where women barely have rights!!!! This company is always finding ways to reach a new low. YOU WWE

I mean despite the Saudi shows themselves being in some bad taste considering recent history, this rumour if substantiated is if anything progressive.
as long as I don’t have to hear JBL putting wwe over for it endlessly, I see no issue.

In bad taste regarding the location or not, I'm finding it difficult to get excited about Charlotte winning a tournament.

I think it would be a big step for Saudi Arabia if true. I dont think this is a bad thing at all

I was hoping there would still be a King of the Ring. My final 4 would have been Shinsuke, Corbin, Xavier Woods & Chad Gable. QOTR is cool tho.

I don’t see how this can be a bad thing? Even if you get past the idea that Wwe wants kudos, it’s important for them to keep pushing for them to have women on every Saudi show.

Say what you will about WWE and Saudi Arabia, getting women’s matches to happen over there is a really big thing. Not bad news.
Also calling underdog Liv winning

Gotta make that blood money! Might as well throw a women's match on there to be "progressive". It's a lot easier than actually doing anything to help fight for women's rights.

Saudi allowing a women's match and calling it progressive is like an oil cartel donating to a wildlife fund and calling it environmentally responsible.

The only reason I tune into the Saudi shows is to hear that awesome Godsmack they use for most of the WWE specials there. One of the best PPV theme songs since the Ruthless Aggression era

Don't know how I feel about this. There's some complicated geo-political nature to American-Saudi relations and the geopolitics of the middle east moving forward that effect my outlook. With Foreign oil distribution up under the Biden administration; The Saudi 2030's plan I would think would not go at such fast pace. But; I assume they also understand the state of reknewable energy and this is just one administration that can change in four years. The Saudi's have been focused on becoming bigger service and entertainment based economy
So I am sure the vanity project of trying to be somewhat secular; atleast maybe to the West by hosting this would be good PR. And very good PR to recover the last very negative PR over the Saudi shows.
May it benefit female wrestlers and create growth and inspiration; sure. But it seems like calculated vanity project to project an image. I think that's the way it comes out when you put on the 3-D glasses.
Now; I get the blood money mindset. As much as the morals of it are off. I get WHY WWE goes. However I always have hated the Saudi shows and found them garbage. Outside of the Godsmack songs. I love Godsmack.
But; I mean the crown prince has some cool ideas; if they were 10 years prior. Like the match cards just piss me off. Greatest Royal Rumble really? 50 man Rumble for nothing? Triple H Vs. John Cena; ummmmmmm okay. World Cup Tournament; The DX Vs. Brothers of Destruction. Like; WWE could of totally got away with that in 2009-2010 and it would of been stellar. Hell I think if Shawn should of came back for another match; he should of came back in like 2013-2014 to work Bryan or Punk. I think 2018 was just to late. Randy Orton Vs. Triple H? Taker Vs. Goldberg.
I never found these shows at any level entertaining; they're like these overblown house shows or like me waking up from a hot sweat chugging bottle of water having some dream I was at some weird WWE PPV where Shawn Michaels comes back and is bald.

The only Saudi related thing I’ve ever enjoyed was Bryan’s GRR run.
At the end of the day WWE, like all major companies, do most of what they do for publicity. Saudi Arabia is an ass backwards country, but it doesn’t change the fact that getting women’s wrestling over there isn’t a big deal. So good for whatever women will be involved.

they definitely want the publicity,but that said hopefully it’ll end up an interesting way to elevate someone new. i haven’t loved the saudi shows overall,but there have been some positives.

It doesn't matter what happens over there, the Saudi Shows are just a house show that is being filmed for the WWE Network subscribers pretty much.
I have yet to watch one of those events from there that made me say, "wow, that was so worth my 3 hours of watching that!"
As for Queen of the Ring, sweet.... now Charlotte can have a robe and crown to go with her nickname.

Nothing says "Queen of the Ring" like having to wrestle in a full body potato sack.

It would just be the finals, so that’s not the worst I guess.
