D-Von Dudley Says WWE Holding Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia Isn’t Worth the Risk

TLDR

D-Von Dudley expressed concerns about WWE's plan to hold Night of Champions on June 27 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, stating he believes the risk isn't worth it due to current tensions in the Middle East. Speaking on the Duke Loves Rasslin podcast, D-Von said he would feel uncomfortable traveling there and recalled a past situation where Vince McMahon told wrestlers there would be no repercussions if they chose not to travel somewhere due to safety concerns. WWE President Nick Khan previously stated during a TKO town hall that the company is monitoring the situation with security teams and government contacts, and will only proceed if it's deemed safe for U.S. citizens to travel to the region.
