WWE Night of Champions is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia despite ongoing rumors of the show being canceled. However, wrestling veteran Mark Henry is not concerned about the roster, saying that the country has been a good host to pro wrestlers.
There has been a lot of speculation around WWE's upcoming premium live event, given the situation in the Middle East. However, according to a recent report, the show is planned to go ahead as scheduled, and the stars are on their way to Saudi Arabia.
While many are concerned about the talents' safety, Mark Henry has disclosed that he's not worried about anybody. The legend said in an interview with Alfred Konuwa that he has had an amazing experience every time he has been to Saudi Arabia.
“I’m not worried about anybody. If the WWE goes over there, the full power of the king and his son are going to protect them and keep them safe. Nothing [is] going to happen. Every time I went to Saudi Arabia, I felt more at home and welcome than I do a lot of places in America. People say 'Welcome home, brother!' Like there’s so many people over there that are brown people that look like you and I."
