[Swiss Ultimate]

And today they announced they'll be holding some sort of World Cup tournament. I dunno. Figured I'd start a thread for this given the controversial nature of the show and the likelihood of it being a ridiculously stacked card like Greatest Royal Rumble was.

Holy shit...

The execution came during a deepening dispute between the two countries sparked by Canada's criticism of Saudi Arabia's detention of activists. Canada on Friday called for Saudi Arabia to release women's rights campaigners detained in the country, prompting a harsh response from the kingdom. Saudi-owned media has blasted Canada for arresting a Holocaust denier and other citizens. TV pundits have brought up Canada's suicide rate in what appeared as a broadside against the country's way of living. And Saudi media took a decidedly dark turn on Monday when it appeared to threaten Canada with a 9/11-style attack by tweeting a graphic with an image of an airliner flying toward Toronto's skyline. The absolute monarchy ruling Saudi Arabia tightly controls the media broadcast within its borders, as well as its foreign-policy messaging. In a statement, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry described Canada's call to free the women's rights activists as "blatant interference in the Kingdom's domestic affairs." The ministry went on to threaten vague retaliation against Ottawa. "Any further step from the Canadian side in that direction will be considered as acknowledgment of our right to interfere in the Canadian Domestic affairs," it said. Saudi Arabia has suspended new trade agreements with Canada and expelled Canada's ambassador. It stopped medical treatment programs of Saudis in Canada and said it has made arrangements to transfer those affected. Saudi scholarship recipients at Canadian universities were ordered to other countries. Saudi Arabia's airline suspended flights to and from Canada, potentially complicating travel plans for Canada's Muslim population ahead of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca later this month.
