Fans And Members Of Congress Are Urging The WWE To Rethink Its Big Wrestling Event In Saudi Arabia

Fans and legislators are asking World Wrestling Entertainment to cancel a blockbuster pay-per-view show that is set to take place in Saudi Arabia, telling the popular wrestling company to rethink its decision in light of a missing journalist who is suspected of having been killed by Saudi officials.

Wrestling fans have reached out not just to the company but wrestlers themselves on social media, asking them to pull out of WWE's upcoming Crown Jewel event on Nov. 2.

Set in Riyadh, the event would be the second time this year that WWE has held an event in Saudi Arabia.
