Senators say WWE should cancel or postpone Saudi Arabia event

Several senators criticized the WWE for its upcoming “Crown Jewel” wrestling event, saying they should cancel or delay it, following the disappearance of journalist and Saudi Arabian government critic Jamal Khashoggi, according to a published report.

The senators are calling on the WWE to reevaluate its ties to Saudi Arabia. The country is expected to host its second major wrestling event after another one was held back in April.
