Tyrus Shuts Down Titus ONeils Claim That Saudi Arabia Is Safer Than the U.S.

In a past interview, Titus said he saw children playing on the beach late at night in Saudi Arabia, and when he asked about it, a local told him there was no worry because crimes like assault or kidnapping carry an automatic death sentence.

That quote drew serious attention and during an appearance on TMZs Inside The Ring, Tyrus responded with a flat-out rejection of the claim.

Tyrus admitted Saudi Arabia offers big checks, but said most of that money goes to the business not the wrestlers themselves.

He noted that while Saudi Arabia hosts a lot of boxing and wrestling events, the ratings havent matched the investment which is why more fights are heading back to Las Vegas. Still, hes fine with WWE doing one event a year in Saudi Arabia as long as everyone on the card benefits from it.

But even with that, Tyrus said people have to be real about the cultural differences especially when it comes to freedom.

He acknowledged the importance of WWE creating moments in places like Saudi Arabia, especially for women and young fans who rarely see that kind of representation. But he made it crystal clear that no other country compares to the U.S. when it comes to freedom and opportunity.

Still, he wasnt backing down from his main point.

He wrapped things up with a final shot of perspective.

Tyrus made it known Saudi Arabia might cut big checks, but America is still home. No paycheck or strict laws are worth trading freedom, and he believes theres only one place where people can truly rise, fall, and rebuild.
