Thoughts On Royal Rumble Women Covering Up?

haldcottingham · 02-02-2026, 08:24 AM

What are everyone's thoughts on all of the women in the Royal Rumble having to completely cover up? My daughters and I watched it, and it just felt a little off.

My girls are 5 and 7 and enjoyed the different looks. Women's rumble was very good, imo. Different culture (and it seems the WWE is not gonna stop going to Saudi), so whatcha gonna do.

I will say that the women's rumble was much better than the men. My daughters are 9 and 18.

I like that the women have taken to it and have made their outfits colorful and fit their persona/character.

When it was black or blue or red and that's it, it looked weird to me.

Disappointing that WWE doesn't pick up the tab for these outfits though, cause if the women don't do it, they aren't going to be on the show...

It’s Saudi Arabia lol what did you expect? Had you not seen any other Saudi shows? If it felt off maybe not the thing to watch with your daughters lol

As a matter of fact, they hadn't. I'm a bigger fan, and they've starting watching recently. I was just sharing an opinion.

I believe that horse has left the barn. And to be clear, we didn't dislike all of the outfits (although I really didn't like Charlotte's).

I was more disturbed watching the roller coaster video and seeing the women wear Burqa’s. The money must be realllly good to make them return to that place.

Yeah, I honestly thought a few might bow out of going.

there probably is a bit of fear that if they backed out they might be pushed off of some storylines

They have been doing shows in Saudi Arabia for several years and due to their customs it's required. Get used to it because they are scheduled for at least 2 additional PLE's this year.

It’s nice watching a wrestling on Saturday morning like back in the early 90s. Plus it gives me the whole day to get stuff done after. Adulting sucks but it’s nice feeling like a kid again.
