SAUDI ARABIA OFFICIALS OFFER $20 MILLION FOR WWF LEGEND TO BECOME WWE CHAMPION & WORK THEIR APRIL SHOW
We previously noted how WWE’s big money deal with Saudi Arabia is going to result in the in-ring return of Shawn Michaels at the WWE Crown Jewel PPV on November 2. Saudi Arabia officials are also funding appearances of stars like The Undertaker, HBK, Brock Lesnar and more to build-up to the WWE Crown Jewel PPV.

We have noted multiple times before that Saudi Arabia officials are big fans of Old School Wrestlers and requested a number of Old School wrestlers to work the Greatest Royal Rumble earlier this year.

Well, the Saudi officials now want another big Old School Star to appear at their show.

According to the Dirty Sheets, Saudi Arabia officials want Old School WWF Legend The Rock to appear as WWE Champion at the planned April 2019 show in Saudi Arabia and they have offered to give $20 million for this appearance!

Dirty Sheets noted last month that WWE officials have discussed Roman Reigns vs. The Rock for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35 and Rock is reportedly set to make $4 million from that WrestleMania match if it goes down.

If The Rock agrees to work WrestleMania 35, then it is almost certain that he will work the Saudi Arabia show as well and become the champion. This would mean that The Rock would make make $24 million in a single month from just 2 matches!

Dirty Sheets also noted that if The Rock walks out of the Saudi Arabia show still the champion and works SummerSlam 2019 (where he would drop the Title), then The Rock would make a total of $26 million from just 3 matches!

No wrestler in the history of Professional Wrestling has made this much money from just 3 matches.

It was noted that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and John Cena have made more than $10 million in a single year, but never this much for just 3 matches!

We’ll keep you updated on this situation.

And people say WWE doesn't push black wrestlers, yet here we are with the Great One possibly getting another run with the title he created.

While it will be Roman vs Rock, I want AJ Styles vs The Rock. That's more of a dream match for me.

Who are they offering $20 million to? Vince or The Dwayne? Because either way they wipe their ass with $20 million

The Rock, and then presumably money to Vince to convince him to alter any storylines he may or may not have planned.

Imagine if you were a billionaire you too could alter WWE booking plans just by throwing money at them.
I love to watch you cry

I'm willing to commit 200 million to the XFL. But... Roman can never main event a WrestleMania again.

Vince: I don't need your money. Get the hell out of here.

WWE understands most of it's fanbase isn't going anywhere. They're focused on other markets and expanding their fanbase rather than giving it's loyal fans a better overall product. They'd rather have 5 kinda fans who never leave vs making the 1 super fan happy.

Untrue. They haven’t expanded the fan base in almost 20 years

Pretty much this! 

This sounds terrible. Which means it's probably gonna happen. 

*sigh* It's gonna be a bad time to be a wrestling fan for the next year it sounds like (not that it's exactly a good time to be a wrestling fan right now).

Which is why they're going to Saudi Arabia and doing Super Shows in Australia. They already know their American market. It's tapped. Time to move on.

I assume they mean the universal title, still, Rock winning the WWE title in the mid card would be pretty amusing.

Can they pay Austin to have one more match pls?

Surely there must be at least one millionaire on the PWB who wouldn't mind throwing down a cool mil or two to help get the belt on Rusev?

I don't think I believe it

However, it was was true and they are willing to pay ridiculous money to have stats from yesteryear wrestle, there might be some very interesting requests going forward. 

Like I'm pretty sure WWE don't want Hogan to wrestle for them again...but a $20m sweetener would test their resolve. I don't think Austin wants to wrestle again...but his share of $20m might make it a far harder decision than he ever thought he'd have to make. 

But the more I think about it, the less plausible the whole '$20m for Rock to wrestle' thing seems.

The Saudis spend $50m to give us Hogan vs Austin. And pay Punk millions to come back. Why? Because that family is worth $1.4tn.
