Considering other sponsors and events for Saudi's Vision 2030 plan started pulling out after the new broke, this is pretty much another case of WWE hoping things die down before going forward with something controversial.
The longer they wait to pull out, the less believable their PR excuse will be especially now that they are starting to get heat from the government and sponsors. Same for if they even think about holding another event in the future since its just going to reignite the controversy.
They only really started to take flake for the Saudi deal once they agreed to ban their women wrestlers from the events and releasing propaganda videos hyping up Saudi progress when the opposite was happening. Same for Triple H making things worse by claiming WWE was going to be a leader of change in the country.
