3) Former WWE Announcer Believes That Vince McMahon Could Sell The Company To Saudi Arabia
Former WWE commentator, Hugo Savinovich, was recently a guest on the Wrestling INC Daily podcast. During this, he expressed that he thinks WWE could eventually sell the company to Saudi Arabia.
Here is what Hugo said:
“I believe there is more to the business transactions. I have said this on my Live that I would not doubt that if Vince was to sell his company, it would probably be for about $8 billion because UFC sold for $5 billion. I will not say that Saudi Arabia would not be in the run to do that. Plus, they wanna get that contract and I haven’t heard anything official that that has happened because of difference in figures between what Vince wants and what they wanna pay. But they need to have a better relationship and until this quiets down… they don’t need a scandal because they already have enough on their hands. Saudi Arabia is trying to look for its future and they know the future is not gonna be oil because the more we modernize, the more we’re gonna have other sources. Right now, the United States is a powerful nation and they don’t need to depend on Saudi Arabia or the Middle East for oil. I think this is powerful people – WWE and Saudi Arabia – and they have alliances.
My Take:
- This is a wild conspiracy theory but I had to share. That would be a wild turn of events.
2) Evolution II Not Happening?
According to a report from Ringside News, Evolution II will NOT be happening on August 30th. This is a rumor that has been floating around for the past week or so.
Here is what the site wrote:
“Ringside News has learned that August 30th will not be Evolution II. The company is planning a special event for August 30th, but it won’t be a female-exclusive event.
“We were explicitly told that the August 30th event isn’t planned to be Evolution II at the moment.”
My Take:
- Personally, I would wait until fans can come back to do Evolution II. It seems like an event that should have a crowd.
