WWE has been on the receiving end of some criticism from the mainstream media for their decision to move forward with the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, Crown Jewel received some more attention on the latest episode of Last Week Tonight, hosted by John Oliver.
Oliver joked about WWE turning heel by still running the event in Saudi Arabia. The show also created a parody advertisement of their own for Crown Jewel.
Oliver suggests that WWE takes a new approach in promoting Crown Jewel. You can watch the parody video here:
