A big rumor heading into WWE Super Showdown was a potential Women’s match taking place. That was because Alexa Bliss and Natalya travelled with WWE to Saudi Arabia for the PPV. Unfortunately, the match didn’t end up happening.
Stephanie McMahon recently spoke at the Celebrating Women In Sports luncheon, where she addressed the topic of a potential Women’s match happening in Saudi Arabia.
Here is what she said (h/t to Cageside Seats for the quote below):
“In terms of women, I’m going to harken to an example in Abu Dhabi. It took us six years to have our women be allowed to perform in Abu Dhabi. But just over a year ago, they were allowed. And not only that, but a chant broke out in the arena of both men and women chanting, ‘This Is Hope’. ‘This Is Hope,’ which is not your typical WWE chant. And there were tears in the eyes of little girls in the front row, because again, they saw what they could possibly be. And we’ve been promised that we will be a part of the the forefront of change that’s coming in Saudi. I believe we will have a women’s match in the near future.”
