It should be noted that despite superstars pulling out and refusing to perform, there's absolutely no heat on them. Remember last November when Daniel Bryan refused to perform at Saudi Arabia despite being scheduled for a WWE title match?

Well, they got the match out of the way a few days before, replaced him with Samoa Joe and less than a week before Survivor Series, Daniel Bryan got another WWE title shot and ended up winning it. Not so much of a punishment, is it?

The fact of the matter is that while WWE has been criticised a lot for the Saudi Arabia deal, they don't hold it against their superstars who refuse to perform. So in case you were wondering if your favourite superstar was going to get a push cancelled, that's not going to happen.

If anything, Kevin Owens might have an even higher chance of becoming champion now!
