However, Fightful Select has since reported that a number of talents, including top stars, contacted Sean Ross Sapp and revealed that they made it clear to WWE that they didn’t want to be booked on the show due to ongoing security concerns.
Additionally, one talent reportedly revealed that the wrestlers who are scheduled to compete at the event have expressed their concerns to WWE. However, the company has assured them that safety precautions would be the utmost priority during this trip.
