WWE’s relationship with the Saudi General Sports Authority in Saudi Arabia generates colossal revenue for the company. However, the deal has been controversial due to the countries limited rights towards women and the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi who was critical of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Many have called for WWE not to accept the “blood money” offered, and multiple wrestlers have refused to work shows in the country, with some that did choosing to donate their payoffs to charity.
Now during this week’s episode of Dynamite, Dr. Britt Baker has caused a stir on social media by taking a shot at WWE’s partnership. She did this by complaining during a promo about her tag match last week against Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero, which saw her put through a table. She alleges in the storyline that Tony Khan only booked the match due to owing Guerrero a favor for recruiting Andrade and told him to enjoy his “blood money.” She’d then follow up by saying, “maybe next week, AEW Dynamite can run in Saudi Arabia!“
WWE’s last event in Saudi Arabia took place in February 2020, which saw Goldberg defeat “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt for the WWE Universal Championship. Further shows in the country haven’t been able to take place due to worldwide events. However, it’s believed a show will take place later this year, with November rumored. Should Baker’s boyfriend Adam Cole be on the main roster at the time, it will be interesting to see whether he participates.
