Tuesday News and notes- Saudi Arabia, producers, more

– We can confirm there has been at least a pitch to involve women in the May Saudi Arabia show from WWE’s side of things. We’re told that it happened a couple of weeks ago, but specifics are unclear at this point. WWE has no intent to pull out of the deal with SA, and maintains a positive relationship with those putting on the show.

– Fun fact: As I mentioned on last night’s show. The girl who designed the site that Becky saw already has a nice leg up in wrestling — her dad, Chris Michaels, has worked matches in WWE, TNA and WCW and has wrestled since 1991. 

– We’ve been getting a lot of positive reception to the new WWE producers/road agents that have been brought in to WWE, both from veterans and new names. 

– A source backstage at Raw called the episode “very laid back” and noted it was one of the few to go down recently without timing or production issues.

– We’re told a women’s match/segment will go down towards the bottom of hour 1 tonight on Smackdown Live
