WWE RAW Superstar Aleister Black is another up-and-coming top star who will not be appearing at Crown Jewel next week as he will not be making the trip to Saudi Arabia with WWE.

Black was actually pulled from the last event WWE held in Saudi Arabia, which was the Super ShowDown PPV back in June of this year.

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, WWE officials made the decision to pull Aleister Black from the Super ShowDown PPV due to Black's tattoos, which contain religious symbolism which WWE feared might upset the people of Saudi Arabia.

Back in 2017, Black spoke The Daily Star about the nature of his tattoos, noting the symbolism found in much of the art he showcases on his body.

“I don’t really talk about the meaning of my tattoos, but I will give you that one. The being on my back is Lilith, in some folklore she is the first woman to ever rebel against paradise. The reason she is there for equality, equality for every man and woman – which is the most important thing there is."

Black will not be traveling to Saudi Arabia next week for Crown Jewel, and given his tattoos, it's unlikely he will ever travel to the country with WWE unless officials change their minds.
