is this the first SD or Raw in Saudi?

This is the first Smackdown in Saudi, yes. Usually its taped the week before they leave.

Confirmed, with a bonus SmackDown being held in Saudi the night before​

is this the first SD or Raw in Saudi?
Whether you love or hate Saudi-Mania, Smackdown being live the day before is better for Smackdown. When they'd tape the show the week before the taped episodes tended to feel really bleh, as most taped shows do nowadays. Obviously we may still see it taped but it'll be taped a few hours before airtime instead of the week before.

not to mention views aren't great because a lot of people just read the spoilers.

The Drew thing is surprising given that the prevailing thought was that his contract was expiring very soon. Thought he'd be out of contract by the time the show comes around.

Imagine if his contract "expires" at Clash at the Castle in Glasgow, he wins, and pulls a Punk.

holy shit I didn't even think about that. That'd be fucking EPIC. he beats Priest for the title, then they get Punk to come out to keep him from quitting.

It's at the end of May. Highly doubtful he'd be medically cleared. Best case scenario is he costs Drew the win in the final.
