Two weeks ago, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver criticized WWE’s relationship with Saudi Arabia and on last night’s episode, Oliver did a follow up segment.
- He showed a clip of the crowd chanting “Undertaker,” then immediately booing when Undertaker mentioned Crown Jewel. Oliver joked that WWE had “turned heel.”
- He showed a clip of Titus O’Neil falling at Greatest Royal Rumble.
- He mentioned reports of John Cena not wanting to work the event because of the PR hit.
- They aired a parody promo video for Crown Jewel.
It honestly wasn’t really anything great, but it did make WWE look pretty bad and is even more bad PR from a mainstream outlet. But of course, it isn’t going to change anything anyway.
And here’s part two of John Oliver’s ethering of WWE on the “Last Week Tonight” that just ended, including a special hype video for Crown Jewel. pic.twitter.com/OlXC9ROWwv
