A number of WWE personnel made fun of ACH's statements on twitter, which is wild because at best they're dunking on a black co-worker complaining about racism in a notoriously racist industry and company, at worst dunking on a co-worker with a mental health issue. You'd think their PR people would make a blanket statement that no one is to comment on this on social media.

Peter Avalon's Librarian gimmick is still death, but through sheer force of will and super bad heel work with the cheap heat, at least it he got the "I just want to see him get punched" heel thing going.

Weird. Why wouldn't the first women's match in SA include: Bayley, Sasha, Charlotte, or Becky? Shit even Asuka/Kairi/Alexa? When Sasha/Alexa had the match in the UAE (I think?) they had to wear full body gear so it will be interesting to see what Nattie/Lacey have to wear.

Yes, but you see- the random Lacey/Nattie team up was on RAW and then they went back to feuding with each other on SMACKDOWN so it doesn't matter even though it totally does but hey guy don't worry about it and tune in on Friday at 8:00 PM EST for more WWE® FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN™ action!

Notably, three members of WWE's women's roster has also made their way overseas. Natalya, Lana and Lacey Evans are all in Saudi Arabia but there is zero expectation or suggestions that any of them will be able to compete on the PPV. It's possible WWE may use them for promotional appearances instead. Last year, WWE had Natalya and Alexa Bliss on the tour and were seemingly led on by the Saudi government in terms of possibly having the two wrestle; however, on the day of the event, the idea was completely nixed.

I'm positive something went 15 minutes over on this show and I'm going to say it's either the Cody/Tony limo things or the womens match. There's no reason this main event should have started as late into the hour and without entrances otherwise. This is a company that had to cut the main event of their first PPV short by 10 minutes because they sucked at a time management.
