One of the controversies surrounding the Greatest Royal Rumble has been the fact that women are not being allowed to wrestle in the event.

The women of WWE made history last year when Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss became the first women to wrestle in the Middle East when they had their match in Abu Dhabi, but the comparatively stricter Saudi Arabia wouldn't allow women to be on the show.

However, there seems to be a silver lining of sorts for the women. Jerry "The King" Lawler, in his podcast Dinner with The King, mentioned that though they aren't a part of the show, the women are getting a huge payoff.

In the same show, Jim Cornette also revealed that WWE is making a very large amount of money by holding the event in Saudi Arabia.
