WWE just wrapped up Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia without incident but not before some public and private controversy on whether they should have even gone ahead with the event in light of the conflict in the region.

A new article by Uncrowned posted on Yahoo! cites multiple sources within TKO as reporting that there are many employees who were not happy about the company's insistence to "plow forward" with not just the WWE event in Saudi Arabia but also other TKO related ones such as UFC and Zuffa Boxing.

One source stated the following on condition of anonymity for fear of backlash:

"Why are you still even having these shows at this point? I think the answer is, if they chose not to do the show, they would lose out on millions and millions of dollars."

"If we don't do the shows in Saudi Arabia or [United Arab Emirates] or Doha or wherever we are going, then our fourth-quarter earnings will be off and our shareholders aren't going to get their money. So it's all about greed. They don't care about anybody's well-being. The level of greed with this company is so gross."

"All [TKO executives] talk about is if the State Department says it is OK to fly there. The rest of us are like, 'If the State Department has to think about it at all, let's just postpone.' That's what all the other sports are doing. Why can't TKO?"

With more TKO events scheduled over the next several weeks, sources within the company had more frustrations to grieve to the outlet:

"Not one email has gone out saying, 'Here are the details and the plans for December 5th.' That's crazy. They don't tell you anything. They just throw it at you. How about a backup plan? How about a safety letter? 'Hey, if x happens, we go do y. We'll all meet here. We'll do this. We'll do that.' Nothing."

"They don't f***ing care about you one bit. People are just getting tired of the way they're getting treated. They get treated like s*** and everybody's tired of it. The lack of communication, the greed, the lack of appreciation, people are just sick of it."

"Everyone is talking about the Middle East shows. Who has to go, who can get out of going. Some people say they are waiting until the time to fly comes and telling [executives] that they won't go. But I don't know how many will follow through with that. This is a company that can fire you for no reason or any reason. Everyone just can't believe this is a choice that they are being forced to make — fly into a war zone or risk getting fired before Christmas."
