stumigoo Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Shite from WWE to have an event with no women. I know they will probably earn a f**k load of money from this but given the rise in women's wrestling and the general attitude towards females in the industry it is a huge step backwards for them to go ahead with an event like this. Read online that there is a ten year partnership between the WWE and the Saudi Sports Authority. I know the whole WWE brand is fakery of the highest order but this just feels totally out of joint for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeArab Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Better Rumble In Saudi Arabia than actually WWE fans got here. That’s what money buys you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Apparently Undertaker will face Rusev in a casket match. They really hate Rusev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 And Reigns will win the belt in front of people who probably aren't nearly as indifferent to him as in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Surely this 10-year deal thing going forward can’t annually be “The Greatest Royal Rumble” and they will mix up the format. Otherwise it rather shits over the, y’know, actual Royal Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Next year it'll be THE BIGGEST LADDER MATCH, with the entire roster in one match fighting for a belt suspended from the roof of the arena around a hundred feet up. The year after that we'll get THE BIGGEST HELL IN A CELL, with tens of thousands of fans watching from a distance, peering into a cage the size of two football pitches. Shane jumps off it but still somehow survives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Is this guaranteed on the Network over here? The phrasing I saw of network US and box office looked a bit strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Rusev will get a decent effort in that match I reckon. Looks like a great show that tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrasing I saw of network US and box office looked a bit strange. I actually contacted WWE this morning and they're adamant that if you have an active subscription to the network you'll get it. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not sure why we wouldn’t get it. We’ve had every other overseas special that they’ve done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
