WWE Crown Jewel has left a lot of people confused.

Whether people like it or not, WWE broke new ground in Saudi Arabia.
Another thing we have to remember is that this is only the second public wrestling event put on by WWE in Saudi Arabia.

It was weird to see the lack of interest from a lot of the people in the front few rows, but a lot of kids showed enthusiasm.
Loads of hardcore fans did pack the stadium at Crown Jewel. They chanted with the New Day and many were enthusiastic when the camera panned to them throughout the show.
The country does have strict entertainment laws, and to accept to have such an event in the country was historic.

It still might have laws and ideas that a lot of us disagree with but the events were a step in the right direction nonetheless.
It's their country and if we don't agree with how they do things, don't go or don't watch the event. Yes, some of the WWE employees had no choice and I understand that. Everyone doesn't have the pull a John Cena or Daniel Bryan does.
