I’m surprised Sonya is even allowed into Saudi Arabia honestly.

I figure it’s mostly a non-issue considering anything happening to a performer on Saudi soil, particularly with the Saudi government being directly involved in the WWE partnership, would be a major international incident and the end of any international sports or entertainment entities even thinking of bringing their business to the KSA.
That said, I hope Sonya and anyone else either LGBTQ+ or an outspoken ally is safe and on the first flight out after the show.

So Bianca Belair is the last woman coming out of the chamber, and is pretty much a lock to win it. This is pretty solid evidence that WWE only cares about a select few women.
That's all ignoring the fact that the mystery sixth woman didn't even get a shot to earn the right to qualify for the last spot.
Update: Mystery sixth woman is apparently Alexa.

It’s getting behind and pushing someone. They have to win consistently to get to the top and become stars.

And then they have no one credible to feud with afterwards.
Bianca was already established LAST year. WWE is just repeating themselves because they’re lazy.
Honestly the booking of the gauntlet match was, odd.

So Rey Mysterio vs The Miz. Any rhyme or reason why his match is happening other than some KSA official wants it?
And poor Mansoor, left off the card that is the main reason why he exists in WWE.

It was wholly unnecessary. It's pretty damning that I have zero confidence in the WWE Women's stuff right now because they ONLY care about the horsewomen, Ronda, Bianca, and Alexa. No one else will get a marquee match at Mania. It's why I think there is room for a strong women's wrestling promotion in the US.

Great way to build your Chamber Matches. Have every person in the matches lose or get punked out except for Brock, Bobby, and Bianca.

I’m still not even sure if I’m going to watch this. Which is a step up from the usual “nope I’m absolutely not watching this” attitude I usually go into Saudi weekends with.

Honestly I think Alexa is going to win now. When someone wins one of those multi person matches to get the last spot in the chamber they always end up losing. Alexa is also pretty much the only person who has never lost to Becky as apposed to Bianca who lost to her already a few times in the summer-fall.

They can do that and then do a gimmick non-title match between Bianca and Rhea.

Sonya, what the f*** are you doing, girl?
Unoess ALL of that money is going to an LGBT charity, I've lost all respect.

Do any of the people left actually have a say in skipping Saudi shows? Sami Zayn doesn't count as he is actively barred from the country.
Anyhow, I'll follow it via this thread. Even without the Saudi Arabia angle, the likely booking of the show feels like one to miss.

Bryan skipped a bunch of them after being at the first one.

Bryan was a bosses favourite, and seemingly Owens must be up there with how they went out of their way to resign him and want Austin to come out of retirement to face him. There's definitely a hierarchy, where, say Roman Reigns could refuse to go to one once but FTR didn't have that clout.

I'm both worried for Sonya's safety and grossed out by her pretending on socials that this is just another work trip instead of being in a country where people like her are persecuted, jailed, and even executed just for being who they are.
Hope she's donating the money she makes to this to some LGBTQ+ org like the Trevor Project.

Didn’t the Revival and the Good Brothers skip the next Saudi show right after the plane being delayed?
