6 Ups And 4 Downs From WWE Night Of Champions 2023

3. Sportswashing

This item will have some people nodding along, while others undoubtedly will tell me to “get over it” and to not watch WWE if I disagree with this so vehemently.

But we have to give WWE a heap of crap and not normalize these paid shows that are essentially sportswashing for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a nation that brutally murdered a Washington Post journalist before his marriage at the direction of the crown prince.

All countries have their issues and troubles (my home, America, has its own challenges with plenty of “isms”), but watching WWE still turning its PLEs into advertisements for Saudi Arabia is disgusting as they praise Jeddah’s history and talk about the City Walk like it’s a tourist’s paradise.

But if you’re getting $50 million – more than twice as much as the most profitable WrestleMania on record – for each show, I guess you’ll do anything.
