WWE could be about to see an exodus of talent if the reports of a deal with Saudi Arabia turn out to be accurate.
This week, it was reported that WWE has been purchased by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, though neither side has confirmed these reports.
Speaking during a Fightful live-stream, Sean Ross Sapp was asked if talent will threaten to leave if WWE is indeed purchased by the middle-eastern nation.
Sapp responded that talent will “100%” walk out of the company if this deal has indeed happened.
Later in the stream, Sapp spoke about Sami Zayn, asking “how could he stay?!” if WWE is owned by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.
Zayn is Syrian-Canadian and has been held off all WWE events in Saudi Arabia due to his Syrian heritage.
Kevin Owens has boycotted all WWE Saudi events in a show of solidarity with his real-life best friend and on-screen rival.
While there have been reports of a sale, nothing has been confirmed by either WWE or the Saudi fund at this time.
