WWE confirms to @CBSSports there will indeed be a short prayer break during #WWEGRR on Friday, out of respect for local customs. It will not impact the home viewing audience. Separately, I'm hearing the break will last approx. 15 minutes -- not an hour as reported elsewhere

Not only did WWE not have the power to allow its female competitors to compete at the Greatest Royal Rumble but the women wrestlers are reportedly not even allowed to attend the show. The Saudi Arabian culture is that women are not able to watch any sporting/entertainment events live unless they are accompanied by a male - usually either their husband, father or brother.
-- Apart from WWE women not appearing at the Greatest Royal Rumble this Friday, it appears Finn Balor's entrance embracing all walks of life is also "clearly not going to be acceptable" as the cultural perception towards homosexuality is extremely negative.
-- The main reason WWE is going ahead with this event despite it seeming to contradict their overall brand message is because of financial reasons. It is a gigantic deal for ten years between the two sides in which the Saudi government is pretty much funding the entire event. The exact financials won't be revealed until WWE releases their quarterly report for Q2 sometime in August, but there is an unconfirmed report via @PWStream that suggests that the deal is worth $100-$200 million.

Did they cut all the pyrotechnics out of the show out of fear of the wrestlers thinking the explosions were a terrorist attack?

I will find it interesting if the wwe tries a india wrestler vs saudia Arabia wrestler storyline.

It won’t be shown in the network. They will run backstage promos and video packages.

He would certainly be a face after the Undertaker vs. Daivari match and the suicide squad.

I read somewhere that the controversy was not just about the WWE divas.
It was actually about a new “Saudi Arabian stripper diva” that was to be introduced at the event. Her name was Youseen Memuff.

Yes, and gas prices will drop 45 cents a gallon after.

Would be awesome if Iron sheik showed up.

Proof that women's "wrestling" is garbage and not best for business.

No it wouldn't. They'd probably behead him for being Iranian (kayfabe is still a big deal over there).
