Drew McIntyre Wins 2020 Men's Royal Rumble
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the professional wrestler, Drew McIntyre, on winning WWE’s 2020 Men's Royal Rumble; understands that he is the first Scot to achieve the feat, which is widely considered one of the highest accolades in professional wrestling; notes with regret what it understands is WWE’s ongoing ties to the government of Saudi Arabia; believes that a number of wrestlers have reportedly boycotted WWE events in Saudi Arabia due to what it considers the regime’s well-documented human rights abuses and disregard for international law, and urges Drew McIntyre to join his colleagues in boycotting the next WWE event held in Saudi Arabia, which is due to take place on 27 February.
