“It’s not official. I presume it’s a network special. I suspect it will air live. It will probably be a bad time slot, but you can watch it whenever you want, so it’s no big deal. It’s going to be taped for something though.”
WWE has always aired some of the special live events on their exclusive video platform. This grabs more subscribers for them. The Beast in the East was such an occasion. There are chances that USA Network might also air this biggest Royal Rumble event,
“It will either be TV or network special. I don’t know if it could be or will be a USA Network special but it’s possible, but it will probably be a [WWE] Network special.”
Previously, Abu Dhabi had witnessed the first-ever Women’s Championship match back in December 2017. The audience of the city caters as one of the biggest fanbases in the entire world. Hence, they would continue to get special treatments like this. WWE has signed a new deal to ensure this for the fans in the Saudi Arabia country.
