WWE: Saudi Blood Money IV

**Emperor Smeat** · 11-03-2019, 05:03 AM

Based on a bunch of recent tweets from people living in Saudi Arabia who saw the show on tv, Dave Meltzer and David Bixenspan, people digging through WWE's recent fiscal reports, and tweets from wrestlers, this seems to be the summary of events leading to Friday's post-show travel issues.

* Based on those who have been digging through WWE's fiscal reports, there have been noticeable discrepancies in areas where the Saudi money would have kicked in. Several spikes in both directions likely indicating the Saudi government has not been paying for their shows on time. David Bixenspan tweeted a recent report from CBC.ca of this being a growing issue in the Saudi government for their other deals for some time now.

* WWE likely realized they were not going to be paid in full on time for Friday's Crown Jewel event and Vince pulled a power play in regards to the feed of the event. According to those in Saudi Arabia, all of the past Saudi shows were aired live except this one. Crown Jewel was aired on a one hour delay but it wasn't announced prior to the event which managed to piss off a lot of viewers there.

* Saudi prince seems to have been upset at WWE's handling of the feed for the event and pulled a power play of his own by having the plane with the rest of WWE's talent grounded. Only reason he couldn't do the same for Vince's plane was due to Vince leaving hours earlier with a few others.

* Making things worse for WWE was them getting a charter plane for only a select few talent managed to piss off everyone else that was still stuck there. Curtis Axel tweeted out his anger in response and Karl Anderson hinted at losing a lot of respect for RAW's locker room leader (likely Rollins due to his star status).

This whole mess also seems to possibly open up another serious problem on the horizon for WWE. Supposedly its being speculated that insider trading is happening within WWE. Vince and the McMahon family are among those rumored to have committed that crime. Some investors haven't been happy regarding WWE still being unwilling to disclose details regarding the Saudi money and issues with their new UK tv deal and upcoming new contracts elsewhere.
