After the WWE announced that Crown Jewel would stay in Saudi Arabia, the public backlash has been strong.
Dan Le Batard of “The Dan Le Batard Show” on ESPN publicly condemned the WWE for continuing to do business with Saudi Arabia. Here is his quote.
Did you see that WWE is still going to Saudi Arabia? What a bad decision that is. But, it’s the sewer and the sewer is going to behave like the sewer. There’s a lot of money in Saudi Arabia, so much money, so wrestling is going back to Saudi Arabia as we wonder whether Saudi Arabia kills journalists with bone saws. It’s not a hard statement to make. You’re usually not this overt about “We’ll take your money even though you’re being investigated for killing a journalist with a bone saw.” We’re usually not quite that overt like, “Yeah, we’ll take your money, your blood money, no matter what.”
