- A WWE taping scheduled for tonight has been called off due to the Performance Center positive test and all talent currently near it being tested.
- In more bad news for the WWE, a "former wrestler" who performed at the ill-fated 2019 Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia has confirmed the worst, according to a filing in a lawsuit filed by a stockholder in WWE against the company, charging inflation of the value of the company.
It is largely believed the wrestler is Rusev, one of several vocal wrestlers during the ordeal, however he joined WWE in 2010! One commenter on Cageside Seats believes it could be Dax Hartwood of AEW's FTR, the former Scott Dawson of The Revival.
The former wrestler notes that a talent relations person held with him knew EVERYTHING of the dispute as it was reported (money dispute before the card going back to a 2018 Saudi card, Saudi feed was cut as a result, MbS got pissed), and armed guards swarmed around the plane in black uniforms.
AND the claim that talent could opt out of the Saudi cards without consequence was also debunked, as the wrestler also said a number of fellow complainers were told their pushes could be aborted as a result.
