It was an odd environment to see both in, especially considering Vince rarely does interviews and The Undertaker has previously not been one to stand and be asked a variety of questions while out in public. Still, it was fascinating the see the two friends hanging out, while also offering some evidence as to why Endeavor is about to ready to move on from Vince and give the reigns to Triple H.
When questioned about the future of sports and entertainment in Saudi Arabia, McMahon enthusiastically asserted that the region was indeed the future, emphasizing the superior aspects of sports and entertainment that the country was delving into. Unfortunately, he misnamed his own event Crown Jewel by calling it Crown Prince. McMahon expressed his belief that Saudi Arabia would soon host the best events in the world, showcasing a commitment to excellence that impressed both him and The Undertaker.
