When in Jeddah. Over the last few years, WWE has maintained a business relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. WWE has presented major events in the country, which earns them several million dollars per show. This has led to a controversial reception, as the country has a terrible human rights record. WWE continues to run events in the country though, which includes some interesting side moments.
WWE will be holding the Elimination Chamber event in Saudi Arabia this coming weekend and the roster has already arrived in the country. A video has made its way online, showing the Miz and Goldberg at some sort of a celebration where they are both dancing while spinning sticks around. Both are scheduled to wrestle at the show, with Miz facing Rey Mysterio and Goldberg challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Title.
This might get some people talking. Check out what the two WWE stars were up to:
Opinion: This is the kind of thing that is going to bring up even more questions and issues about WWE doing business with Saudi Arabia and that is understandable. It isn’t like Saudi Arabia’s reputation is a secret and yet this kind of video is meant to focus on the fun and lighthearted moments instead. I know WWE is going to take the money that they can make, but these things are going to be noticed for the wrong reasons.
