By now, you’ve probably heard that WWE Crown Jewel will be taking place in Saudi Arabia this Friday, despite a massive uproar surrounding the event in recent weeks. Some of that uproar came via HBO’s John Oliver on Last Week Tonight two weeks ago.
Following last week’s announcement that Crown Jewel would be going on as scheduled, Oliver took aim at WWE once again, which included a faux commercial for the event.
I wonder if this is the kind of Mainstream press #WWE has always been craving #CrownJewel

Congratulations to WWE for getting mainstream attention. All press is good press, right Vince?
