A Saudi Man has reportedly been arrested, for criticizing wrestling, according to a Twitter account that focuses on 'prisoners of conscience'.
According to 'Prisoners of Conscie', Sheikh Badr bin Ali Al-Otaibi was arrested just days after WWE hosted the Greatest Royal Rumble pay per view in Jeddah.
The tweet also stated that WWE and Saudi Arabia have agreed to a 10-year contract, with another Pay Per View already being organised for later this year.
The Greatest Royal Rumble was held last month in Jeddah, and saw Braun Strowman win the historic 50-man Royal Rumble match.
