#3 Without this match, there would be no female representation
WWE has found a way to broadcast their kickoff show panel from Connecticut as part of their recent trips to the Middle East, which meant that the women could be part of the show without having to ask for approval. Renee Young would be forced to dress differently, but she was allowed to appear on commentary and had been there for the past two visits to the country.
Young is no longer a commentator and it was revealed a few weeks ago that she wouldn't be making the trip to Saudi Arabia for the second Crown Jewel event, which meant that there would be no female representation at all.
This hasn't been the case since The Greatest Royal Rumble where women were banned from performing because of the laws in the country. Obviously, this is a step backward, WWE has been hoping to move forward throughout these trips to Saudi Arabia which is obviously why they agreed for women not to take part in the first three trips.
WWE couldn't allow their fourth trip to not feature any women at all, so obviously a match was the only acceptable step forward.
