WWE Superstar Claims He Got Death Threats After Greatest Royal Rumble
Last Friday at the Greatest Royal Rumble, we saw the return of former WWE Superstar Shawn Daivari alongside his brother, current Superstar Ariya Daivari, for a segment with the recent Saudi Arabia tryout winners. The Daivari Brothers were both born in the United States, but are of Iranian descent and gained heat from the crowd by flaunting Iran’s flag and belittling their Saudi counterparts. Ariya has now come out on Twitter claiming he received death threats over his performance. One could surmise it was from Saudi people, however that was not stated in the posts which you can see below:

Unfortunately some people took offense to this despite it being pure entertainment. Some threats were made against my life. I wanted to put this statement out to clarify where I as a person stand compared to my t.v. character. https://t.co/NJbnlMnn28

EA’s Take: I can’t say that I’m surprised here. Initially it was believed that Shawn was being brought back to be in the Greatest Royal Rumble, so when I saw him come out waving that Iran flag, I cringed a little bit. These are the risks you take when you run a segment like that under those circumstances. This is of course assuming he got death threats from Saudi Arabians. I can’t imagine who else would be that offended!

ZARIA once again betrayed Sol Ruca’s trust and used that treachery to secure victory in a Last Woman Standing match that closed out week two of NXT Revenge. The brutal stipulation match ended with ZARIA unable to be counted out, cementing her dominance over Ruca.
Sol Ruca had been featured earlier on the Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania, going one-on-one with new WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, but she could not overcome ZARIA’s final attack at NXT Revenge. The result pushes ZARIA further into the spotlight while leaving Ruca regrouping after a tough week.
