What WWE Won—and Fans Lost—With Saudi WrestleMania
Description
WrestleMania has always been ours—from Madison Square Garden to SoFi Stadium. But now WWE has sold its biggest stage to Saudi Arabia. In this episode of The Tristen Law Show, we break down what WWE won and what fans lost in the deal. From record-setting checks and global expansion, to cultural restrictions on women’s wrestling, travel fiascos, and the looming shadow of sportswashing, we cover it all. Is this true progress, or the biggest sellout in wrestling history?
Expect fiery takes, real talk about ticket prices, streaming fatigue, women wrestling “with handcuffs on,” and why many fans feel WrestleMania is no longer theirs. By the end, the question remains: will you boycott, rage online, or watch anyway—just like WWE is betting you will?
