Stephanie McMahon was interviewed by Graham Caygill from The National in Abu Dhabi while over in the Middle East. McMahon noted that she was looking forward to working with Kurt Angle when she eventually returns to WWE TV. On the idea of holding a WWE Network special in the market, she commented, "Absolutely. We are examining all different growth opportunities across all lines of business. Again, this new localised show Wal3ooha really is the first step of the process."
On the women's division growing, McMahon commented, "It really is incredible to watch these young girls look up to these very strong, not only physically but mentally, strong incredible female athletes that are our Superstars. It has been incredible and now I see many more little girls in the audience wearing Bayley’s armbands or Sasha Banks glasses or T-shirts." You can read the entire interview by clicking here.
