During a recent interview with Sky Sports, WWE superstar Alexa Bliss has opened up regarding the possibility of her having a match in Saudi Arabia. During the last few shows over there, which have been highly controversial as we all know, no females have competed. That will continue to be the case at Super ShowDown, but it certainly seems as if WWE and the majority of their superstars want to change that sooner rather than later.

On having a match in Saudi Arabia
“I would love to [have a match in Saudi Arabia]. I was very nervous at first with the match in Abu Dhabi because I didn’t know how we were going to be received but it was actually incredible.
“The crowd was all for our women being there and having that title match. I had an amazing time and I would love to be able to be have a match in Saudi Arabia if given the opportunity.
“Women have never competed there in any aspect so it would be awesome to entertain there and break down barriers. It shows that our business is global.”
On Renee Young commentating in Saudi Arabia:
“It was awesome for Renee to have that opportunity and it was such a huge deal,” she said. “To be given that opportunity would be incredible. It’s on a global stage at that point. It would be the first time women would be perceived in a certain light.”
