WWE had always dreamt of promoting women’s wresting to Saudi Arabia, as they have been under a paid partnership for over a decade. They have planned for something new for a long time, but until Natalya and Lacey Evans made history at Crown Jewel 2019, that accomplishment was unachieved.
WWE is currently planning another trip back to Saudi Arabia and it appears that they didn’t leave the women out of the event, on the latest occasion. This appears after Fightful Select has been able to confirm the earlier reports provided by Mat Men Pro Wrestling’s report about more women’s matches in the middle-east country.

The company feels that though they have broken the barrier when it comes to promoting women’s wrestling matches in the country. So they will host more matches in the near future,
“WWE sources indicated that they don’t feel as if promoting women’s matches in Saudi Arabia will be a hurdle now that they’ve “broken the barrier.”
WWE couldn’t visit Saudi Arabia for a long time as COVID-19 pushed back plans for the past couple of years. Any events they miss will be added back to the end of the company’s decade-long deal with the country’s sports authority.

Lacey Evans thanked Nattie for their Saudi Arabia match
According to Heel by Nature, WWE locked down trademarks of the Queen’s Crown Tournament that was used for the Queen of the Ring tournament finale in Saudi Arabia. This filing was done through the United States Patent and Trademark Office on August 27th while it was entered into the database on August 30th for future usage purposes.
WWE well-planned to carry out the Saudi Arabia PPV and the Queen of the Ring tournament. As expected, Natalya, the first TV match performer in the country, participated in the tourney, as well. Lacey Evans couldn’t compete since she was pregnant.
Evans presented Nattie with a framed poster from their match in Saudi Arabia, two years ago. Check out how Nattie inspired Evans for that match as she expressed her feelings via below words,
“Nattie, I can’t put into words how much this match meant to me. Not only for what it stands for, but for the fact that [out of] all of the people who could have been across the ring, guiding, and helping me… it was you. You HAVE IMPACTED ME IN SO MANY WAYS IN THIS JOURNEY AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR STRONG PASSIONATE, GIVING LEADERS LIKE YOU!
Thank you for everything.”
