Could The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Buy WWE?

There have been rumours swirling that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is interested in purchasing WWE now that Vince McMahon is back at the negotiating table. This news has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, as many fans and industry insiders are wondering what a sale to Saudi Arabia could mean for the future of WWE.

On the one hand, a sale to Saudi Arabia could bring in a significant amount of money for WWE and its shareholders. The Kingdom is known for its deep pockets and could potentially offer WWE a lucrative deal that would be hard to turn down. They created LIV Golf to compete with the PGA. Instead of creating a wrestling company, they could just straight up buy an established one.

However, there are also concerns about what a sale to Saudi Arabia could mean for WWE's creative direction. The Kingdom has a history of censoring and controlling media content, and there are fears that WWE's programming could be subject to similar restrictions. This could potentially limit the storylines and characters that WWE is able to showcase, which could have a negative impact on the product.

It's important to note that at this point, these rumors about a potential sale to Saudi Arabia are just that - rumors. It's unclear whether a deal will actually come to fruition, and if it does, it's impossible to say how it will impact WWE.

One thing is for sure - the wrestling world will be keeping a close eye on this situation as it develops, and fans will no doubt have strong opinions on whether a sale to Saudi Arabia is a good idea or not. So, only time will tell what the future holds for WWE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I'd rather they not buy WWE I'll be honest here. I think that just leads to a bunch of trouble. Let me know your thoughts on Saudi Arabia potentially buying WWE either here or on Twitter.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
