Apparently Natalya and Alexa Bliss are on the flight to Saudi Arabia and there's much speculation they'll do a match on Friday.

There's now heavy speculation on WWE doing a women's division match at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia on Friday. This would be the first time female Superstars perform in the Kingdom, if it happens.

We noted earlier, via PWInsider, that Natalya is making the trip to Saudi Arabia for Friday's big event in Jeddah. Fightful has since revealed that Alexa Bliss is also making the trip. There's no official word yet on why they are making the trip to the Kingdom, or if they will appear. Renee Young is also making the trip over, but she will likely be calling the show as she did at Crown Jewel last year.
Furthermore, @Wrestlevotes reported today that WWE discussed doing a women's match at Super ShowDown several months ago. The idea then was to do Nia Jax vs. Natalya, but Jax is currently out of action with an injury. It looks like they might do Bliss vs. Natalya now, which would be huge for WWE due to local laws and customs that have prevented women from wrestling there.

Bliss and Sasha Banks made history back in December 2017 when they wrestled the first women's match in the Middle East during a WWE live event in Abu Dhabi. Bliss recently spoke with Sky Sports and said she hopes to participate in another first for the company in Saudi Arabia.
"I would love to [have a match in Saudi Arabia]," Bliss said. "I was very nervous at first with the match in Abu Dhabi because I didn't know how we were going to be received but it was actually incredible. The crowd was all for our women being there and having that title match. I had an amazing time and I would love to be able to be have a match in Saudi Arabia if given the opportunity. Women have never competed there in any aspect so it would be awesome to entertain there and break down barriers. It shows that our business is global."
Stay tuned for updates on this story.

I know this is a big deal if it does happen but I would rather it didn't happen if it means Alexa Bliss wrestling.

Atleast it isn't Lacey Evans.

You're reading too much into it...

Vince is probably just going to have Alexa sit on some rich Saudi laps.

At least it isn't Lacey Evans.
Better Evans than Bliss.

I naturally presumed that they were being brought along to wrestle. You believe that they are being brought along to sit on laps and give a load of muslims boners.

I dont know which is more likely

Maybe they are hoping to change some people's minds? Putting them in attire that reveals nothing but their hands and faces perhaps? I don't know.

Or maybe Tyson Kidd was invited for something out there and she is tagging along. Same with Buddy Murphy and Alexa Bliss tagging along with him.

They did something similar in Abu Dhabi with Alexa and Sasha, they wore full body attire... I don't know about the spouses tagging along since Renee Young will be there without Jon Moxley.

Yeah, I know they have done this before so it is possible. The reason I bring this up is that everyone involved in what I mentioned is still on terms with WWE. Jon may not be now but if he really wanted to go to support his wife, I doubt they would stop him.

Two women wrestling in burkas would be impossible for the commentators to call.
