The Greatest Royal Rumble was understandably one of the biggest Live Events WWE has put on in the past year or so, but it was not free from controversies.
One of the most debated topics about the event was the absence of female talent from the show and it appears that comments on this matter may have landed Corey Graves in hot water.
According to the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Graves has some heat on him for the negative comments he made during the Greatest Rumble and afterward.
A lot of people pointed out how Corey seemed to have remorse or second thoughts about WWE running a show without female talents which were illustrated by a few cryptic comments he made during the event.
Not only that but the former NXT Star also made an obscure Instagram post after the show, with the caption indicating that women in America at least have the freedom of expression compared to Saudi Arabia:
A drink to remember that no matter how bad WE think we have it, at least our women have rights and we all have freedom of expression. 🇺🇸 #ifyougetityougetit

According to Observer, all this is not sitting well with Officials and while there are people who think that his statements are understandable, the feeling is that he shouldn’t have made such comments publicly.
Furthermore, there are people backstage who were heard saying that the Raw and SmackDown commentator is “more replaceable than he thinks he is.”
No word yet on if Corey Graves will be punished in any way for this but we’ll keep you posted if any such details regarding the matter come to light.
For now, it’s only safe to say that the company is not in the mood of jeopardizing their relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for any reason and if anyone else shows his unhappiness with the event then he will only be calling trouble for himself.
