Ah yes, the good old two week build with tossed together matches that won't mean a whole lot and bringing back nostalgia stars to try and get people to buy a ticket... if people hadn't noticed before now that they don't really care about women's wrestling, surely this fast spaghetti on the wall building should let you know.
I don't watch RAW now it's on Netflix, so I'm curious from those that do... was Evolution pushed on RAW, or was it more a push for Goldberg's retirement on SNME.
When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside... Ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide!
I'm late to the topic, but to me such an obvious joke. This has to be a tax scam, no way they thought they could get people to show up for amateur wrestling, not even high school gyms are full at most of those events.
Seems to just be business as usual to me. Not really that crazy as WWE missed a couple of shows on their 10-year contract of two shows per year during COVID, and appears to be just doing the 1 show this year, so Royal Rumble is probably being tossed in as one of this years events on the deal.
Not that I like the doing shows with such a Government, but... TKO Loves MONEY!
...And the US Government isn't looking much better than theirs right now.
It also helps that TKO and the Saudi's are going all in on a boxing group together which means making the Saudi Tourism board happy. To bring this back around to WWE... conveniently their partnership was saved allegedly by Nick Khan stepping in to be a go between between the Saudi's and Dana White but I can't remember much of that off the top of my head, I think it was on Helwani that it was talked about.
Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if WWE held the Women's Rumble on RAW or SmackDown before they go just for this reason...
PWInsider:
International fans watching WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Netflix were met with the show going off the air shortly after it began. While the initial assumption amongst fans was that Netflix had lost the transmission that is not accurate.
PWInsider.com can confirm that there was a power loss in Riyadh that affected WWE's entire production including the control room and the gorilla position.
WWE lost all power and with that went any ability to control the different facets of the show. They are working to get everything back on line but again it was not a Netflix issue, it was an issue originating at the actual venue.
WWE halted the production of the show so while the transmission is out, it is not a case of international viewers missing what is happening inside the venue.
Corporate Money Phil has once again shown himself to have no real morals by doing Coward Shit... he apologized for the Saudi tweet at the fan event.
EDIT: Removed word.
This story is never ending, I'm convinced he's trying to bleed her money away until she's forced into arbitration or can't continue.
I'm curious what she's hoping to find in communications between Vince and Linda.
I've almost convinced myself that they've actually lost the damn belt and are putting off replacing it until time to take it off Mox... which was like several months ago, IMO.
