He said he’s going to. Like he literally kept shouting "Friday" at Paul Heyman so yeah, feels like there’s a fairly solid chance here. But, then again, Heyman did specifically say he was going to do it on Raw and he just... didn’t do it on Raw... so I’m going to call shenanigans. The gimmick here might be teasing the cash-in for ages before finally doing it when we've stopped caring. How exciting.
Still though, we do know that while the scale and spectacle of these events is very much pleasing WWE’s Saudi paymasters, they do want more important things to happen on these shows. For this whole propaganda thing (and that's what it is) to work you need the eyes of the world to be on it. Shane McMahon Crowned Best Wrestler In The World At Huge Saudi Arabia Event is an incredible headline that got people talking, they want more of the same.
With no tournaments taking place or any other obvious spots to insert massive slices of wild, wild booking, there aren't many bigger headline grabbers than The Beast. Imagine it; UFC bound Brock Lesnar Wins WWE’s Top Championship In Saudi Arabia. That is a wet-dream of a headline for the Saudi General Sports Authority.
