Friday's GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE Event Will Be Problematic For A Number Of Reasons

Some troubling new details about this Friday's Greatest Royal Rumble have been revealed and poor ticket sales and a ban on women could be the least of WWE's PR troubles once it takes place in Saudi Arabia.

The upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia is problematic for a number of reasons. For starters, women aren't allowed to compete on the card but the fact it's essentially a propaganda show for the government is most concerning. They're the ones deciding who gets tickets and those who have a family with a woman in it are being prioritised to make it look like women's rights are important to the country. Single men, however, are only allowed to have bad seats out of camera shot. 

As a result, it's thought that the response to the show won't be great because most of the people there won't actually be wrestling fans and the best seats are saved for the Saudi General Sports Authority.

The belief is that the show isn't being promoted that much in Saudi Arabia because the government is more concerned with coming off a certain way to the rest of the world. The building is essentially a sell-out but only because officials have bought all the tickets and there's a very good chance the building won't actually be full. It's a bizarre situation, especially as those attending can't CHOOSE seats.

Will you still tune in to the Greatest Royal Rumble on Friday or has this dulled your interest somewhat? Be sure to let us know your thoughts on that in the comments section and stay tuned for more.
