What does this mean for the company's relationship with the country?

A WWE fan in Saudi Arabia Tweeted WWE's official Network account over the weekend to ask why the service was no longer operating in the country. He received a brief but concise reply, confirming that the streaming platform was no longer available in the country for the foreseeable future:

"Hi! Thank you for reaching out. Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience. WWE Network will not be available in Saudi Arabia until further notice."

At present, there is no further information on why the WWE Network has been suspended in Saudi Arabia, or the implications this decision will have for the company's partnership with the GSA going forwards. Initial reaction is to presume there has been a significant breakdown in the two parties' relationship; delivery of WWE's product is crucial to ballast any supershows presented in the country.

For now, that's mere speculation. Check back for more details on this emerging story as they become available.

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.
