From a moral point of view, it's definitely not worth it.
From a financial perspective, it's more revenue than Wrestlemania. So yes.. it's very worth it to the WWE.

If they do go through with it the propaganda from the commentators is going to be very awkward during the show.

"Interrogation gone wrong" that's why the interrogators had a bonesaw with them. After a nice peaceful discussion they were going to carve a turkey and have some dinner together.

Oh, I wouldn't put it past Cole to just automatically parrot everything Vince tells him to say.

He already did it once before. Can't see why he wouldn't do it yet again. lol

I would hope that maybe Michael Cole's days as a war reporter might get him to say "This is a bridge too far".
My prediction is that starting tonight, you'll know where "Crown Jewel" is about as much as any other given pay-per-view like when it's in Cleveland or Dallas or Minneapolis.

he's done it a lot of times. The one time he kind of talked back he most likely got his ass chewed out over the headset during a commercial break.

I think the thing I'm most intrigued about with Raw tonight is how they address the PPV. Given storylines, they have to promote it and can't outright ignore it. Will they mention Saudi Arabia at all? How many times will they mention the PPV?
You're right in that we probably won't hear Saudi Arabia at all but I'm genuinely curious about this all.
Lots of publicity on WWE and Crown Jewel today.
- SI confirmed many WWE superstars are uncomfortable with performing in Saudi Arabia.
- Yahoo Finance has a piece talking about the situation WWE is in with their agreement and how the WWE is a publicly traded company that has to answer to its shareholders and cancelling such an event would cost the company millions of dollars. Yahoo included the blurbs of politicians talking about WWE taking a pause on the event, John Oliver talking about it on his show last night, WWE bending to Saudi Arabian rule and leaving women off their first show.
- Meltzer has said he was told that unless President Trump or the US State Department tells WWE they can't do the show, the show will go on.

Meltzer was on the old LAW show and one of the hosts made the point that wrestling is still carny and everyone accepts Vince is scum and there are no surprises here. It doesn't hurt that Trump has his own sordid personal dealings with the Saudis in addition to America's in general so Trump will probably be happy with WWE not acting like there's anything wrong here. Long term, this will be a bad look for WWE but for now they think they are going to weather this.

Vince and Trump are buddies for a reason. Money is way more important to them then even the appearance of having principles.
I am not saying other American businesses or presidents for that matter haven’t had a long and sketchy relationship with the Saudis. Just that these two have been very open about how they don’t care as long as the Saudis are paying them.
Just need to look at GRR for the proof.

I still can't believe Mr America Vince allowed a foreign entity to poach Greatest Royal Rumble as a name.

Mr. America is really Mr. Money. I honestly believe if you handed him a blank check he would have someone piss on the flag on RAW.

So Trump says SA denied any involvement and Mohammed denied any knowledge of what happened at the consulate and now they’re prepared to come out and admit he was killed in a “botched interrogation.”
I wonder what the fall out for WWE will be if SA does admit it.

At this point, why not have a show in NK?
