WWE is going to have a Pay per view wrestling event at Saudi Arabia titled Crown Jewel. Many wrestling fans wanted the event to be cancelled because Saudi Arabia is a country with poor Human rights.
WWE prides about how their Women's division empowers women yet they will make a Pay per view on a country where women are not allowed to wrestle. It's a place where women have no rights.
WWE brags about how inclusive they are as they have a Gay and a lesbian wrestler now. Well Saudi is a country where LGBT people are getting killed for being who they are.
Recently Saudi Arabia murdered and dismembered the Journalist Jamal Khashoggi for criticizing the government.
The American audience are not even interested to watch a Pay per view on Saudi but WWE is very persistent on forcing this.

Maybe they should have this event done in the Philippines. I mean Human Rights keep buzzing people over there and we have fair treatment of gays and lesbians.

Many companies with investments with Saudi Arabia had pulled out and includes billion dollars worth companies. WWE is the only one who cant pull out because of the 10 year contract. Also it is funny that the wrestlers don't want to go there.
Yeah Philippines is a good location as they currently have 4 Filipino descent wrestlers. Batista,Tj Perkins, Jessica Elaban and Lacey Lane. If they promote those 4, they can get ticket sales.

It is big business so I doubt if WWE will cancel the ppv.

They decided to make a 10 year contract with them, despite of the fact Linda Macmahon is a Donald Trump Cabinet member. It is negative PR to their company.

@Letranknight2015 Linda McMahon is the wife of the owner of WWE and she is the reason why it is more family friendly now because she have political ambitions. This negative PR is going to sting her ambitions for Senate.

Wrestling fans are aware wrestling is scripted. That is why most wrestling audience these days root for villains instead of the heroes. this is about human rights though. Saudi have a lot of human rights violation. WWE prides about the charities they help but they will perform on Saudi.
