Saudi Arabia is changing. The people out there are rooting for ‘Saudi Vision: 2030; which is a strategic framework to reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism

With this Saudi Vision 2030, the country is giving other sports a chance to flourish inside the country, and WWE is leading by example here.
