WWE have confirmed the first ever women's match will take place in Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel this week.
Crown Jewel looks set to be a spectacular event with Tyson Fury making his WWE bow against Braun Strowman.
The likes of Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins are all set to feature but the latest news is a groundbreaking moment for WWE.
Natalya and Lacey Evans will go head to head in Riyadh, in what will be the first-ever WWE women's match in Saudi Arabia.
The two members of the WWE women's division were spotted at an airport alongside Lana ahead of the event this week.
A women's fight had been lined up for Super ShowDown earlier this year but did not go ahead.
Female wrestlers had previously been unable to perform in Saudi Arabia due to the limited rights women have in the Kingdom.
Back in 2017, Saudi Arabia confirmed women would be allowed to attend sporting events in stadiums for the first time, with other restrictions since limited.
The failure to include female stars at last year's Crown Jewel event drew led to criticism of WWE, but they have pushed to get a women's match on the card.
Speaking in 2018, WWE chief Triple H said: “I understand that people are questioning it, but you have to understand that every culture is different and just because you don’t agree with a certain aspect of it, it doesn’t mean it’s not a relevant culture.
"While women are not competing in the event, we have had discussions about that and hope that, in the next few years they will be. That is a significant cultural shift in Saudi Arabia.
“You can’t dictate to a country or a religion about how they handle things but, having said that, WWE is at the forefront of a women’s evolution in the world and what you can’t do is affect change anywhere by staying away from it."
