If common sense prevailed they’d cancel this show with how close it is to Iran with the current situation. But ya know money talks.

I mean surely they're pretty safe. Trump loves them.

But does he feel the same way since Vince ‘left?’

Trump's just as close with UFC/TKO so probably, especially as WWE has been more MAGA than ever recently.

I didn’t actually think WWE were under threat of being bombed by Trump! Well, no more so than Saudi Arabia. Let’s face it, that mad twat could bomb any of us at any time.

Ah fuck.. to be fair he might think The Iron Sheik is still alive.

[Jacko]

The crack writers should just rewrite the show tommorow and have 2 war games there instead. It  feels appropriate at the minute and how tone deaf they actually currently are.

No one in WWE is keeping wicket for the Quakers. 

[Hannibal Scorch]

The lengths CM Punk will go to to not be called a hypocrite by wrestling in Saudi Arabia are impressive.

[TV Time Remaining]

So, do we think it'll go ahead? Night Of Champions at the performance Center?

[Chico Torres]

Just air a documentary of what I think was the first Saudi shows.

There was a great video doing the rounds where all the proper big lads like Brock, Taker, Mark Henry, Khali, even Braun were dining with the McMahons and the various Sheiks at a banquet table while presumably the likes of Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles were sitting at the kids table. I want to see the process of the Sheik deciding who made and don’t make the cut.

I want to see Vince screaming at some flunky when a sheik demanded “I want the Yokozuna my favourite” and then having to scramble to find a Yokozuna and the frantic calls that were made to secure a proxy Yokozuna.

I want to see what happened when Vince fucked up and said the wrong thing and they were held hostage on the runway for hours.

Or the decision to bring back Shawn Davari to stoke up some good old fashioned sectarian Sunni Shia heat.

They must have some good footage available and would be far more interesting than this reheated Cena Punk middle aged Russo shoot promo shite or enduring a Randy Orton match.

Yet Dave is just lying or has been fed bullshit without actually looking at the sources he's citing..

[tiger_rick]

Surely there's not any company in the USA sending their staff to the Middle East in the current climate? There's no amount of money worth the risk.
