    I presume that this handful of women are being flown over as an optics thing.



    "Hey WWE Universe™, they didn't instantly kill them on the runway so that must mean they are really progressive!"

    Doubt it. It's all about propaganda.

    They tried to make a big song and dance about women being allowed to drive over there last year. Giving two women a 5 minute match will be another "giant leap" for them.

    The womens match will be a blindfold match where the crowd are blindfolded not he wrestlers.

    So it seems that Natalya and alexa are in Saudi Arabia at least. You'd think if WWE had agreed to have a women's match in the country they'd ramp up the back patting machine prior to it happening but they haven't so it seems it's them hoping they can work something out.

    I love that the Luchas keeps their mask on while sleeping :D

    There's a million and 9 reasons to criticise WWE today but this title is fun so far

    Only criticism I'd have is it's very hard to keep up to date with title changes from their Youtube channel because they post so much and most of it gunk, even just a tag at the start saying "24/7 Title Update" would make following it much easier

    honestly have truth come in and 1 in the battle royal and lose the 24/7 title and it keeps getting passed around then he wins the title back then eliminated by a heel to lose the battle royal.

    so i guess baron beats seth today then brock destroys him to get a another glorious run with the belt

    It's the battle royal so everyone would be coming out together unless Truth is one of the guys to get a full entrance. I'm sure they'll say the rules aren't in play for the duration

    It'd have been even better if Jinder was in full ring gear like he was on the golf course

    I'll watch in bits cause of the soccer being on

    Still find it cool seeing taker vs goldberg not that it will be a masterpiece

    Hard too knw will there be any major title changes as it's a glorified house show but with plenty of $$$ for all involved

    Stadium is half empty

    Edit no they just didn't put any seating at the corners of the ring due to the huge LED pillars

    For sure, at the end of the day WWE would put this on if no one was watching for the money they're making.

    And naturally the Women got a huge cheer from the arena on the big screen and I'm sure the KSA will have apologise and punish whoever is responsible.

    The normal fans are cheering so obviously like her and presumably the other women but imagine how "The Man" character would go over amongst the elite. A cocky, arrogant woman calling herself The Man.
