However, the Wrestling Observer is now reporting that the plans have been scrapped and the match between the two women will not be taking place at today’s show.
WWE were not granted permission from the Saudi Arabian government this morning after both women flew to the country in recent days. The report suggested that the Saudi authorities changed their minds once WWE arrived.
