News On Crown Jewel Presentation, Delete the Elite, Who Skipped SA, More
Added 2022-11-05 14:00:00 +0000 UTC- We're told at Crown Jewel, there was an active plan to have a UFC style "locker room look in" at Logan Paul with Jake Paul preparing in his locker room, and Roman Reigns in his locker room preparing.
- MVP did not make the trip to Saudi Arabia, and his spot with Braun Strowman was to help explain why he wouldn't be there. In actuality, MVP is a former muslim turned atheist, which is punishable in Saudi Arabia.
- For those that asked, Matt Hardy has nothing to do with the "Delete the Elite" segments, despite the name.
- Despite being advertised for WrestleCade, we're told Deonna Purrazzo will not be at the event. She let them know in June she'd be on her honeymoon with soon-to-be husband, Steve Maclin. The two get married this week. Congrats to them.
- Don Callis has been backstage at almost every AEW show the last several weeks.

"MVP is a former muslim turned atheist, which is punishable in Saudi Arabia." So...here's a much better idea for WWE. Stop fucking working with people who want your wrestlers and employees dead.

2022-11-05 15:10:30 +0000 UTCWas Sami born in Syria or is that just his family origin because I thought he was Canadian? Either way it sucks he can't be there.

2022-11-05 14:08:29 +0000 UTCThe Saudi Arabia government is not a huge fan of Syrian people, which Sami is.

2022-11-05 14:08:10 +0000 UTCIsn’t Sami not there either? I can’t remember why but can someone tell me?
2022-11-05 14:06:06 +0000 UTCI was wondering about Don Callis never being mentioned during Brawl Out and if he was part of anything. Was he ever suspended or just took time off anyway?
