United States Senators aren't happy about WWE heading to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel. WWE Superstars aren't happy either and, oh, neither are journalists and wrestling fans! Shareholders, however, are and that's why the company isn't giving up a deal which will make them millions over the next decade.
While WWE may have thought that it would be impossible to receive any more bad publicity, John Oliver dedicated almost half of a ten-minute segment on Saudi Arabia to WWE on Last Week Tonight.
Ridiculing the company's decision, he noted that John Cena has refused to go and pointed out the crown turning on The Undertaker during his recent promo on SmackDown 1000. Needless to say, the bad publicity for WWE's ten-year deal isn't going away and it will be interesting seeing if the company continues praising the country during Crown Jewel after everything that's happened. Stay tuned.
