For those not keeping track of Trump’s part-time job as a wrestling star:

WWE, whose Linda McMahon is in Trump’s cabinet, is being paid by the KSA to put on a giant show in the KSA tomorrow.

Women performers are not allowed and are staying home.

Apparently this is part of a multi-year deal between KSA and WWE.

The amount that the government of KSA is paying WWE is not yet public (though in the next quarterly FTC filings we’ll find out), but rumors:

Per sources: WWE are making in the region of $100-200M for #WWEGRR just for hosting the event.

I believe that total - $100M to $200M - is for the 10 year contract, not just the one show tomorrow. Some are reporting it is for one show, but I think that is wrong.

And supposedly WWE keeps all merchandise sales gross.

Whatever the contract amount per year, this makes the show the most profitable show in WWE history, larger than any of their big annual Wrestlemanias.

It’s mind-boggling-more money than any other wrestling show in history.

Now, my question: Does anyone believe WWE would have gotten this luxury contract if Linda McMahon was not in Trump’s cabinet?
