Today's Dirty Sheets:

SPOILER: show
WWE once again rumored to be planning to use the main event of the all-women Evolution event just to hype up Survivor Series. Rumored to be calling up the rest of the MMA 4 Horsewomen for Ronda and debut as a group there during the match.

Currently unknown if WWE will have Nikki lead Team WWE against MMA 4HW at Survivor Series or rush WWE 4HW together as a group for Survivor Series.

Also currently rumored Charlotte is beating Becky at Evolution since WWE wants Charlotte to look strong for the potential Ronda-Charlotte Mania tease at Survivor Series.

Spoiler tags used since its related to potential plans for Evolution.

Women stuck with the third hour at a higher percentage than men, which is different from the usual pattern, and likely related to more interest in any follow-up on Reigns.

However, in the 18-49 demo, 41.5 percent of women stayed for the Evolution special, while 42.3 percent of men 18-49 stayed for the special.

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 2.61 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.62 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.41 million viewers

The Turkish government was scheduled to release their findings into the murder of Jamal Khashoggi on Tuesday and it could sway the WWE’s decision to go to Saudi Arabia. Robbie Fox of Barstool Sports adds that the company is “frantically scouting locations to move Crown Jewel to. This is NOT definite confirmation that it’s out of Saudi Arabia, but the location and date are unquestionably in major jeopardy right now.”

The timing is important of the WWE’s deadline to make a decision. On Thursday, they are scheduled for their quarterly investor’s call and earnings report being released. I would imagine this subject will dominate the investor’s call and it’s going to be a tough position for the WWE to take if they stick to their plan of running Crown Jewel in Riyadh. Conversely, you will have shareholders and analysts also question the financial windfall of pulling out of the show and future repercussions to the deal with the General Sports Authority. This deal is a mess for the company and it’s a matter of mitigating rather than avoiding because any choice they make is going to have a backlash.

On Monday’s Raw, Cena was still being advertised and mentioned in a promo by Kurt Angle as participating in the World Cup. That tells me there is still hope they can work out a deal with Cena, or if the event moves it could eliminate whatever reservations Cena has. It’s worth mentioning, I was not given the specific reason for Cena’s removal from Crown Jewel.

Non-streaming features with the new tier would include free shipping on merchandise purchased on WWE Shop, a WWE rewards program where you receive points for money spent on the premium subscription or on WWE Shop, early access to live event tickets, automatic entries into WWE-themed sweepstakes and the ability to stream and download WWE content on up to 4 devices concurrently (instead of 2).

Elsewhere in the survey were questions about viewing habits, other promotions like NJPW and ROH airing on the Network, what other benefits fans would be interested in and more.
