The event was hosted in Saudi Arabia, which doesn’t have any diplomatic relations with Iran since the attack on Saudi Embassy. Last week, I predicted that WWE might be looking to capitalize on the situation between these two nations by featuring Ariya Daivari, the Iranian-American wrestler.

The “Persian Lion” was wisely put in a promo as the “Daivari Brothers” returned. The crowd booed them as soon as they were spotted. The stadium roared as the duo was beaten in a matter of minutes.

Overall, it is good to see that WWE’s creative team didn’t miss on a plot which was guaranteed to be a success.
