Ronda Rousey, wrestler, actress, and author, spoke to a TMZ journalist recently about the upcoming WWE event to be held in Saudi Arabia.

She said that supports WWE’s decision to continue with the events as planned

“I’m a 2-time Olympian, so I’m an idealist when it comes to sports,” Ronda stated to TMZ. “I think that’s the time for us to be able to find what we have in common and be able to understand each other more.”

This interview came in light after some US politicians called for WWE to postpone the event until Jamal Khashoggi‘s investigations were completed.

“I think that pulling out of the ‘Crown Jewel’ would be the wrong move because I think that this is an opportunity to be able to share our cultures, and to define what we have in common and in times especially when, you know, times of adversity between two countries that’s the absolute wrong time to be able to pull away.”

The “Crown Jewel” event is to take place on November 2 in Riyadh
