Last Week Tonight Host Covers WWE’s Relationship With Saudi Arabia

John Oliver, who is the host of Last Week Tonight that airs on HBO, talked about the working relationship between WWE and Saudi Arabia during the latest episode of the show. This comes after WWE getting negative mainstream press about their upcoming Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. During the segment, he showed clips from the Greatest Royal Rumble event.

“They held their first of many events there back in April. And audiences around the world were treated to wall-to-wall propaganda about the new Saudi Arabia, including a video showing women happily driving, men dancing, and tourist destination beauty shots, as well as constant excited announcements throughout the broadcast”

“It seems that WWE is as overtly pro-Saudi Arabia as it is lately homoerotic, which is to say intensely.”
