Former Universal Champion Finn Bálor has said that he continues to support the LGBT community, despite not wearing his rainbow Bálor Club attire at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
Since the Pay Per View, many have believed that Bálor did not wear the shirt, due to Saudi Arabia's strict laws against homosexuality.
In a tweet, Bálor said it was a case of dirty laundry that made him change.
My Rainbow Gear was a statement at Wrestlemania Weeekend

Although the gear has not been worn since in 6 appearances(Hartford CT, Cape Town x2,Pretoria, Johannesburg ,St.Louise
Saudi Arabia)
My support continues despite any color choice, change or laundry schedule. #dirtypants
Bálor competed in the Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship but lost to incumbent champion Seth Rollins.
According to a CNN report, in Saudi Arabia, the punishment for married-men or non-muslims who engage in same-sex relationships is to be stoned to death.
Finn Bálor's 'Bálor Club for Everyone' shirt is still available on WWEShop.com, with a portion of proceeds going to GLAAD.
