It was recently revealed that Renee Young would be traveling to Saudi Arabia in order to do her announcer duties (this is notable since women can’t compete on the show), but more details have come out that show that she isn’t being treated like her male coworkers. The news comes from the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required).
According to the report, Renee Young has “been given special travel arrangements and accomodations” for while she’s in Saudi Arabia. She’s not traveling with the rest of the WWE roster, and is being treated uniquely for her safety. While it’s not confirmed, Meltzer notes that it will be interesting to see where Young sits during the event, and notes that they could move the announcers to a different part of the venue so they are not publicly seen in front of the audience.
This Renee Young Crown Jewel update is just yet another reminder, and the reason why Daniel Bryan isn’t going to the event, that Saudi Arabia has a long way to go with how minorities and women are treated.
