John Cena is such a company man he learned Chinese to help grow the WWE in China so he clearly doesnt care THAT much about human rights.

Dude would put on a show on the surface of the sun if Vince asked.

You could easily extend that line of thinking to Vince asking Cena and Bryan *not* to go to this show.
Best of both worlds for the wwe. Show goes on, millions are put into pockets and the "good guys" are protected.

Since this rumor also came packed with the rumor of Roman being out with some kind of injury (which turned out to be a whole lot more) I am going to wait and see.

Out of context, this looks like skinheads versus metalheads.

Aren't the McMahons still big supporters of Donald Trump, though? Is Trump still too scared to back away from dealing with the Saudis or has he done another signature 180 after criticism?

Cena's "officially" out apparently so yeah this is real. No word on Bryan yet. Also
WOR: Saudi Arabia show is "very much in jeopardy"; Vince was adamant that he wouldn't pull out unless government officials or Trump told him he had to, but now "outside forces" are pressuring him not to go

From the new Observer Radio. Dave adds that this is the reason tickets didn't go on sale on Friday as planned. He says no decision has been made in either direction, but they are much less certain about running the show than they were a week ago.

Meltzer also corroborated the Pollock report that he was told creative was told Cena wouldn't be on the show. Couldn't speak about Bryan.

The most Vince thing that will probably happen is that it gets postponed and held once this whole saga is over.

If Bryan wrestles on this show I'll be incredibly disappointed.

Hopefully they just cave in and cancel it.

Cena has too much to lose in Hollywood, his career is all but done in the WWE

Hope it's true.

The problem with WWE is how spiteful they can be and they'd look for ways to punish talent who don't cooperate. Cena I think will largely be unaffected because he's more or less semi-retired and has only been used on a part-time basis in addition to being an ambassador for WWE, Bryan on the other hand is still full-time and only just returned to wrestling again after being 'retired' so I figure if anyone's going to feel the effects of taking a stand and not going to SA then it'll be him.

Bryan is a huge star. The WWE is fucking desperate for stars. They wouldn't be spiteful to him.

Cena did get mentioned in reference to Crown Jewel last night. The fact that they haven't even started to sell tickets makes me think WWE is scrambling to hold the event out of the country.

If true, good on Cena and Bryan taking a stand.

They are the two I could most easily see skipping the show

-Cena because he's part time and it could screw with his movie career
-Bryan because he seems like a decent human being and doesn't need the job

"...and we're here to announce that Crown Jewel has been moved to MOSCOW! The nation of Russia has had a groundswell of social media support demanding a visit!"
