During this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D took a not-so-subtle shot at WWE over the company running events in Saudi Arabia on a yearly basis.
As seen during a backstage segment, Baker talked about Vickie Guerrero using her connection to Andrade El Idolo to gain favors. She called it a “blood money” situation, saying, “maybe next week AEW Dynamite can run in Saudi Arabia!”
As you know by now, WWE has run events in Saudi Arabia in recent years because their severely corrupt government pays them huge amounts of money. We’ve previously reported here on eWn that multiple current and former WWE Superstars have called the events “blood money.” Of course, many fans have also criticized the events due to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s record on human rights. They also murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi. You can check out Baker’s comments below:
