Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks wrestled in Abu Dhabi in what was billed as the first women’s match in the United Arab Emirates, a US-backed gulf state monarchy that typically enforces a conservative strand of Islam. Women wrestlers did not compete last year when WWE went to Abu Dhabi.
Alexa and Sasha covered up though, wearing full body outfits.
You can check out photos below. WWE.com also posted a photo gallery from the event with more pics.
Alexa Bliss won the match with a roll-up victory with her feet on the rope for leverage and the crowd was said to be very behind Sasha, giving her a big pop.
