Saudi Arabia's attire rule for women wrestlers remains in effect for the Royal Rumble

si.com

Women participating in WWE's Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia must adhere to a rule requiring full body coverage during their matches. This stipulation, which has been in place since WWE's partnership with Saudi Arabia began in 2018, requires female wrestlers to wear modest attire, with talent responsible for creating and funding their own gear. Previously, women were not permitted to wrestle in Saudi Arabia at all, with the first women's match occurring in 2019 under even stricter attire regulations.
