Okay, this is a first for me.
According to a Twitter account by the handle “m3takl_en,” which focuses on “prisoners of conscience,” a man in Saudi Arabia was arrested on April 29th, 2018 for his criticism of professional wrestling, following the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Here’s the tweet:

Please note that this is an unconfirmed report, so take it with a grain of salt.
Another part of this tweet reveals that this is a 10-year deal between Saudi Arabia and WWE. Additionally, it was reported that this event will be annual.
