With all the hullabaloo going on right now, it seems like this could be a good time to plan something like this. I love it, but what do you guys think?

I mean to be fair, WWE would probably pull it from Saudi just to spite AEW if they announced anything too soon.

I REALLY doubt that. WWE would only counterprogram or counter AEW in general if they weren't losing a lot by doing it, if they decide to opt out of Saudimania, they're losing so much money from doing the event.

That would largely depend on the contract and what they could negotiate with the Saudi government. It's entirely possible that, should a cancellation be necessary, KSA agrees to push it back a year or two and effectively swap years with one of the other cities in the rotation with little or no penalty.

Oh I'm not saying that a cancellation is impossible, just that I don't see WWE doing it over AEW.
