Powell’s POV: It’s worth noting that none of the WWE female wrestlers are advertised for the tour. They have previously been left behind, though Alicia Fox did appear as a host last year. Meanwhile, Darren Young criticized the company in 2015 for running events in Abu Dhabi due tot he country’s views on women and homosexuality. Young was left off a previous tour with WWE stating that he was left home “for his own protection” while adding, “unfortunately, WWE cannot change cultures and laws around the world.”
