"I think we should go. The only way to help with the change over there and to not cancel the trip," said Orton. "Our girls performed in Abu Dhabi not too long ago and I think we'll be there eventually with Saudi and Crown Jewel. That's the goal to make things better everywhere. Not going, doesn't help. Going helps."
Former WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield offered th𒁏e same sentiment on Tuesday during an appearance oꦕn FOX Business. Much like JBL, ꧙Orton focused on Saudi Arabia's treatment of women, namely not allowing women to appear on the show.
