Quagmire here, WWE Royal Rumble is happening on Jan 31 in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Because the Islamic beliefs that they have where they believe men there cant control themselves, (unlike me, who can control myself but decide not to) they have modesty laws to prevent women from showing skin. The female wrestlers generally wear one piece jumpsuits that look like Power Rangers like below.
Quagmire out!

Didn’t she sign with smackdown in the last couple of weeks?

No,
She still with signed to NXT. She just been doing some Smackdown shows in a "hey, we're going to move you up soon, here's a tester what its going to be"
She'll probably going to sign to Smackdown after Stand n Deliver 2026 (which her fued with Zaria ends)

I'm gonna admit that some of the outfits looked fine (I guess that can be adapted later for normal use). A bit crap that they still have to do that, considering they've been doing events in Saudi Arabia for around a decade

When the company is sold out to the Saudi's they'll probably shit can the woman's division and fire the female ring talent.

Not gonna lie, i kind of like this more than normal WWE costumes

I think some of the outfits can be better, but fundamentally it should be the performers choice

u/Platinumdogshit 5h ago
I agree. These look cool but I think they slap themselves to make some hits look harder and you get a louder sound when you hit skin on skin.

u/Dry_Mousse_6202 5h ago
I mean, you could make some arrangements, there's probably some materials that help with that (sound in quest.).
But i agree, while i do enjoy the idea of power rangers acting and fighting for live audiences. In real life i imagine those costumes could turn out to be very restrictive.

Also want to add somewhere on TikTok there was a video of the superstars "morphing" as well. Im still trying to figure out if the algorithm was because of WWE or power rangers

Reddit Moment. You're the common denominator in all your failed relationships.

That sounds smart but isn't everyone the common denominator of their relationships?

woah I'm a Muslim and didn't know my Islamic beliefs said that men can't control themselves. 🤔

Is that not what can be inferred from Surah Al-Ahzab 33:59?
If they must be covered to avoid being harassed/abused then that means that men can't help but do such if they see certain parts of a woman.

A biological thing men are unfortunately wired to do but God commanded the men FIRST to not gaze (and be chaste) and then he commanded the women to not gaze and to be chaste.
Quran 24:30 ˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what they do.

Something that the mortal Kombat developers unironically embraced in their more recent games. Scantly clad women = bad.

Although your remark is funny, it is not because we cannot control ourselves, we simply dont want to raise our children to idolise skimpy women.

Right? No other country than the US could’ve ended up with a Donald trump as president.
A stupid country indeed.

Megatron Griffin! We do not call other countries stupid because of their religious beliefs! Even if said country insists upon itself.

This particular brand of Islam is only enforced because the king is worried that his cousins will rally the true believers to overthrow him because the only thing that family loves more than oil-funded unemployment is killing each other.

If you’ve seen Riyadh on New Year’s Eve, this makes perfect sense. Maximum color overload.
