All the while WWE are trying their best to ignore the enormous Evolution shaped elephant in the Saudi Royal Family throne room, they'll be doing their level best to once more tell punters at home that the nation is not the hideously repressive regime all the evidence suggests.

It'll be as full-on and farcical as it has been the last few visits - and with the media having moved on from the Jamal Khashoggi scandal, the company might even have the remorseless bravura to name their hosts directly again.

Until the Saudi Arabian Royal Family extend their superficial liberalisation to democracy and the full enfranchisement of women, sexual equality without fear of corporal and capital punishment, and religious tolerance for members of all faiths, it's important to repeatedly remind ourselves just how shameless WWE acting as their paid mouthpiece is.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
