WWE: Saudi prince wanted dead Ultimate Warrior in the program

According to reports by WWE Observer, a Saudi prince has made curious demands on WWE. The Greatest Royal Rumble should therefore feature the late Ultimate Warrior.

According to this, the Prince, himself part of the organizing committee, is said to have presented a list of stars he wanted to see in the program of the guest appearance in Saudi Arabia.

Besides the Ultimate Warrior, Yokozuna, who died in 2000, was also to be found there. In this respect, however, the company seemed anxious: the Prince’s demand would explain the curious appearance of Hiroki Sumi in the Royal Rumble.

The sumo wrestler had never been seen before in the WWE and was dressed very similar to the dead Yokozuna. Meanwhile, WWE was able to fulfill the other wishes without any tricks, including the aging undertaker.

The women of WWE were not part of the show. In the port city of Jeddah, performances of the wrestlers as well as their promos were forbidden. Sami Zayn, of Syrian origin, was also excluded.
