Last week the stars of WWE traveled to Saudi Arabia for the Greatest Royal Rumble, and the show featured a segment which involved the Daivari brothers carrying an Iranian flag to the ring as they confronted a few of WWE’s newest Saudi Arabian signees.
Following the Greatest Royal Rumble, Ariya Daivari has been receiving death threats, and he recently took to Twitter to issue a statement clarifying that he was merely playing a character.
The Iron Sheik has since chimed in on the issue, and he told Daivari to tell the “SAUDI JABRONIANS” to take a walk.
Daivari later responded to Iron Sheik by saying that many of the threats he’s been receiving have come from Iranians.
Unfortunately, it's many threats coming from Iranians

Seth Rollins has been one of WWE’s top stars for several years now, and people have noticed that the current Intercontinental Champion has been putting on some impressive performances as of late.
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry is one wrestler who has noticed the hard work Rollins has been putting in, and Henry recently praised Rollins on Busted Open Radio by saying that he’s on his way to becoming one of the all time greats.
"He's getting into that 'great' stratosphere, you know, beyond elite." @TheMarkHenry says @WWERollins is well on his way to cementing himself among the all time greats in the business.
