This weekend’s Royal Rumble in PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will make history of sorts, because the Women’s Royal Rumble match will see the biggest number of ladies work a WWE-Saudi Arabia PLE within the promotion’s history. It also, nevertheless, presents an interesting query regarding the gear used for the WWE women’s division.
For past WWE-Saudi PLEs, female talents have been forced to distinguish heavily from their usual ring attire by wearing full bodysuits as a consequence of certain parameters set by Saudi Arabia’s conservative dress policy for girls. Given the upper amount of ladies involved within the Rumble though, some wondered if perhaps there can be some changes for this event.
That does not look like the case. Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select reports that the identical parameters regarding women’s wrestling gear were in place from past events. The news was confirmed by a WWE talent said to be involved within the Women’s Rumble this week, with said talent also stating that “there was no coordinated effort to be certain that that anything was differentiated from others within the match.”
One other interesting tidbit got here from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, who when chatting with one other talent involved within the Women’s Rumble learned that each one the ladies’s wrestlers were chargeable for paying and/or creating their very own Rumble gear to the appropriate parameters, without the assistance of WWE. It was not clarified whether talent are supplied with gear made by WWE in other situations, or whether it is routine procedure for WWE talent to creative/provide their very own gear.
