WWE's WrestleMania 43 is set to make waves as it heads to Saudi Arabia, a development confirmed during a recent press conference. Bianca Belair, a celebrated WWE star, shared her thoughts, claiming that the Kingdom has become "a space specifically for women to make amazing moments." Her comments have sparked discussions across the wrestling community.

Thunder Rosa Sets the Record Straight

In response to Bianca's optimistic view, AEW superstar Thunder Rosa took to Busted Open Radio to express a more cautious perspective. "They give them money. We’re gonna give you a show. That’s it. The stakeholders are calling the shots," she explained, emphasizing the complexities surrounding the situation.

A Complex Conversation

Rosa acknowledged the historical significance of women participating in events in Saudi Arabia, noting that just seven years ago, female wrestlers weren't even allowed to compete. However, she underscored a crucial point: "You’re not gonna change how society looks at women in these countries. This is part of historical religions and everything else." This statement highlights the ongoing cultural and societal challenges that women face, even amid these newfound opportunities.

The dialogue continues as wrestlers like Rosa and Belair navigate the intricate balance between progress and the realities of cultural norms. As the wrestling world evolves, so too does the conversation around gender equality in the sport.
