Frustration is reportedly growing among some TKO employees over the company’s continued events in Saudi Arabia, with anonymous sources questioning whether financial targets are taking priority over staff safety.

According to Uncrowned, employees at WWE’s parent company have raised concerns about holding shows in Riyadh amid ongoing missile and drone attacks by Houthi forces in Yemen.

The report follows an attack in Riyadh’s financial district just hours after WWE Crown Jewel finished on Saturday. WWE wrestlers had reportedly left the country before a missile struck an Aramco-owned tower on Sunday.

However, some TKO employees reportedly feel their safety has become an afterthought. One anonymous source told Uncrowned:

“Why are you still even having these shows at this point? I think the answer is, if they chose not to do the show, they would lose out on millions and millions of dollars.

“If we don’t do the shows in Saudi Arabia or [United Arab Emirates] or Doha or wherever we are going, then our fourth-quarter earnings will be off and our shareholders aren’t going to get their money. So it’s all about greed. They don’t care about anybody’s well-being. The level of greed with this company is so gross.”

A second source described wider dissatisfaction with how employees are treated, pointing to communication and a lack of appreciation alongside concerns about money.

“They don’t fing care about you one bit. People are just getting tired of the way they’re getting treated. They get treated like s and everybody’s tired of it. The lack of communication, the greed, the lack of appreciation, people are just sick of it.”

The comments reflect the views of anonymous sources quoted by Uncrowned, but suggest frustration extends beyond the decision to stage events in Saudi Arabia.
