Former WWE commentator Hugo Savinovich spoke when he joined the Wrestling Inc Daily podcast about his belief that WWE shouldn’t have gone back to Saudi Arabia after WWE stars were in a ‘hostage situation’ as they tried to leave Saudi Arabia from WWE Crown Jewel in 2019. Here is what he had to say:
“Unfortunately, I think that WWE did not do the right thing by going back. What they wanna do, I believe, is that they wanna keep their stock from falling and they’re in a pretty good price range right now. So, if they destroy my credibility, that’s one less thing. Then sometimes you hear the case has been dropped or whatever, but always read the small print.
They do certain deals where you settle and you cannot talk about it. With me, they cannot do anything because of the fact that I’m not under contract with them. Nobody owns me. I don’t have to answer not even to my own company Triple A and I haven’t heard one word from Triple A saying, ‘You know Hugo, maybe you should not talk about it.’ Nobody has tried to sanction me. Everybody says, ‘Hugo, whatever he said is the truth.’”
