Thunder Rosa Reacts To Bianca Belair’s Comments From WWE WrestleMania 43/Saudi Arabia Press Conference

Rosa weighs in on the comments.

It is official that in 2027, WWE is bringing the 43rd installment of WrestleMania to Saudi Arabia. There was a press conference held, and among the wrestlers present was Bianca Belair.

She was seated next to Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, and a question was thrown to Belair about competing in Saudi Arabia. She stated that the country has become a place where women can make amazing moments and make history.

Belair added that every time WWE goes there, she sees things evolving for women. Those comments were reacted to by Thunder Rosa while on Off The Ropes:

“They give them money, we’re gonna give you a show. That’s it… I think it’s a reflection of everything that is happening right now in America. That’s my reaction to things. Things are changing so fast… The stakeholders… they’re calling the shots, and you have to go for what they tell you to do, otherwise you’re not gonna eat. This is part of your job, and yes, Bianca (Belair), you are absolutely right. The women that are participating in these shows are making history, because seven years ago they couldn’t participate, but again, it’s like, you’re not gonna change how society looks at women in these countries. It’s just part of historical religions and everything else, and people have to be mindful when they come to these countries. You have to respect their laws and how things are run. You can’t just make a fool out of yourself…”

WWE will be heading to Saudi Arabia in January 2026 for their Royal Rumble Premium Live Event.
