No they will stop slowly. Very very very very slowly. Like in another century. Triple H might not be a psychopath serial abuser like Vince but dont fool yourself into thinking he is this great generous guy He's the same guy that said stuff to Booker T in 2003

If the Saudi regime is as evil as advertised, they'd have zero incentive for letting WWE out of that contract.

1) I don't think WWE could stop those shows even if they wanted to. They're under contract.
2) If Triple H had a problem with the Saudi shows, he wouldn't have wrestled on them.

Doubt he cares and he may not be as bad a man as Vince but Hunter is a bad person himself so he will never be against running shows in Saudi Arabia.

there will be a get out clause in the contract (there always is.) but it'll be something damn near impossible that would trigger it.
or knowing the absolute bag of crazy that vince is, there could be absurd get out clauses like someone farting at the airport on a Wednesday if it's a full moon and one of the male wrestlers has three drops of urine fall onto their pants leg after the quick shake.

As stated HHH isn't the one that makes that call.
It makes them a lot of money so the Shareholders are likely on board with it.

Most people don't know this, but Triple H converted to Shi'a Islam after a 2004 WWE tour of Iran; legally, his name is Hussein Yussuf Levesque. He's had quite a few interviews about how the writings of Muslim scholar Ali Shariati have influenced both his personal life and booking philosophy. Given Iran and Saudi Arabia's long-standing geopolitical issues, and that Saudi Arabia is a Sunni country, I could very well see the deal going sour.

my guess is no. That's not how contracts work. Will they renew the contracts? That probably depends on how much money they make else where.

For some reason by brain is saying it was like a 10 year contract that's not very old.
I'm perfectly willing to be wrong here. My brain isn't that smart.

I just hope he has the decency to respect it if a wrestler does not want to go.

They are locked in for the next seven years or however long there is to go. The mob style "mechanical troubles" on the plane were IMO a response to Vince trying to plead for a way out.
An interesting scenario is when the seven years are up the Saudis make a generous renewal offer which HHH (not to mention the talent) wants to reject but he faces opposition from shareholders who feel it is too lucrative to refuse.

Its well reported ,and basically corroborated that Vince tried to Big League the Saudis for money, for sure Vince wouldnt try to get out of making a shitton of money.

Even if H wants to reject it he cant, he is not in charge of the company. He is in charge of creative, TV, talent and what not. Steph and Khan are CEO and any deals are their decision. They may consult H for his opinion but he has no real say in the matter.

Yo, not for nothing, but we need to always remember that Vince took a handful of his guys on his private plane and flew out of the country while trying to holdup one of the most ruthless regimes in the world for money and left everyone else in a hostile situation.
