WWE could one-up them by doing the Crown Jewel Super Show there, instead.

Trump's trying to appear tough on this without actually wanting to do much about it. He's already said cutting military contracts isn't on the table, expelling diplomats isn't going to happen either.
Using WWE as symbolic cover isn't beyond the realms of possibility. Linda's been one of the quietly efficient members of the cabinet (making her pretty bloody extraordinary in these times). Her being promoted to a more important role in exchange for WWE cancelling this show on advisement from the Government would give Linda a more prominent role, Trump the appearance of sticking it to the Saudis, WWE the ability to wave the patriotism flag. The Saudis wouldn't care much and by the time the next show is due it could go ahead under a bullshit banner of "improved relations".
Even if that doesn't happen, this show is in danger, with companies and prominent individuals pulling out of Saudi commitments they had and the pressure from political and social groups for WWE to do the same.

I'll never be able to watch Roman go "Ohwwww" and land that totally awesome spear on Brock the Beast Incarnate Lesner in peace if the WWE doesn't move the location of this show.
The boobs on the tube have told me this; it must be true.....
