He spoke up saying that they had not done the right thing at all, but the reason that they had returned to the country was that they wanted to maintain their high stock prices.<\/p>\n<p>The Saudi Arabia-deal that WWE has at the moment is very valuable and helps WWE to be more valuable.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, I think that WWE did not do the right thing by going back. What they wanna do, I believe, is that they wanna keep their stock from falling and they&#8217;re in a pretty good price range right now. So, if they destroy my credibility, that&#8217;s one less thing. Then sometimes you hear the case has been dropped or whatever, but always read the small print. They do certain deals where you settle and you cannot talk about it. With me, they cannot do anything because of the fact that I&#8217;m not under contract with them. Nobody owns me. I don&#8217;t have to answer not even to my own company Triple A and I haven&#8217;t heard one word from Triple A saying, &#8216;You know Hugo, maybe you should not talk about it.&#8217; Nobody has tried to sanction me.
