WWE event in Saudi Arabia - John Cena won't appear
I know sports aren't allowed in GD but this really isn't a sport and this does deal with political/social issues.

John Cena will not take part in the WWE's Crown Jewel event on Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
After being advertised as part of the show in recent weeks, Cena was quietly removed from the match as part of Monday night's broadcast of WWE's flagship show "Monday Night Raw." He will be replaced in the event by Bobby Lashley, who joins Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz and Rey Mysterio in the tournament portion of the show.
The WWE is moving forward with Crown Jewel despite the ongoing investigation into the death of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Oct. 2 at the Saudi consulate in Turkey.
Cena, who in recent years has made a push into the world of mainstream Hollywood in movies and television, has yet to release a public statement about no longer taking part in the Crown Jewel show.
Cena previously performed at WWE's first major event in Saudi Arabia in April, the Greatest Royal Rumble, and made an in-ring speech following his match against Triple H that opened the show in front of a crowd of 60,000 at Jeddah's King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
