She is great at supporting financial interests. Great angle. They should give here a raise.
I'm painfully watching the video right now, and she unwittingly seems to think the issue is that women aren't allowed to compete in Saudi Arabia (which was the main controversy at the last WWE-Saudi event in April), and not the massive Jamal Khashoggi story that's been pervading news and social media for the last two weeks, which has been the big controversy surrounding this upcoming WWE event (the fact that they're going regardless because the Saudi government is paying them tens of millions per show to spread propaganda to their global audience).

Some excerpts from the article;
Definitely can't support WWE's move to continue the event. Interesting to hear Rousey supporting it. Figured she'd be against Saudi Arabia's track record on women's rights, especially considering women aren't even welcome on the card.
Guess that Oil/Blood Money is hard to resist.
Edit:
In case people don't know what's going on; There was a reporter criticizing the Saudi government in the news. So the Saudi Government sent 15 men into a consulate in Turkey when the reporter would be there to pick up divorce papers. They tortured him, cut off his fingers, then cut his head and legs off of his torso, stuffed the body parts into a suitcase and threw it down a well. Then, they dressed somebody else up in the clothes the reporter was wearing who then walked around pretending to be him as a cover.
WWE will spend the event talking about how wonderful and progressive the Saudi Government is, as part of their agreement.
I don’t care that they are going but it if cringy as hell that they are being paid to push the Saudi’s political propaganda throughout the show. Anything for a payday
I'll all for R3 taking the veil if it keeps that busted face, burly body and cankles covered.I wonder if she'll go with this...
Or one of these:
That is what many do not get ITT
The last S.A. show was a 4 hour commercial for them that told the world how great they are
