Why were there NO women’s matches on the show?

The Women’s Evolution has been a key role of WWE programming in recent years, with the main event of WrestleMania next year rumoured to be Charlotte Flair vs Ronda Rousey.

There will be no women in action in the Saudi Arabia event this week, however.

Women in Saudi Arabia are still restricted by laws on what they can and can’t do.

The company has come under-fire for for not announcing any women’s matches, with fans accusing WWE chiefs of putting profit before gender equality in the bumper Gulf State bash.

Speaking to The Independent, WWE executive president and 14-time champ Triple H said that while there is no women’s wrestlers on the show this year, he hopes that there will in the coming years and the WWE can be part of the cultural change.

He said: “I understand that people are questioning it, but you have to understand that every culture is different and just because you don’t agree with a certain aspect of it, it doesn’t mean it’s not a relevant culture.

“You can’t dictate to a country or a religion about how they handle things but, having said that, WWE is at the forefront of a women’s evolution in the world and what you can’t do is affect change anywhere by staying away from it.

“While, right now, women are not competing in the event, we have had discussions about that and we believe and hope that, in the next few years they will be. That is a significant cultural shift in Saudi Arabia.”
