That's not to say it can't pay off in the future. It's just to say that right now, there's no sign that they've even planned for the future, and thus it currently is hypocrisy based on what we know and how it appears to the media

Those HHH quotes combined with the Abu Dhabi match indicate it's something they have at least discussed. It would be very easy to have not done Abu Dhabi. Saudi is more conservative so it'll take more time.

I'd be surprised if they don't move forward with this though, unless there's another coup - this isn't just baseless conjecture, and it's not just a business negotiation. It comes at a time when MBS is making specific moves to make Saudi look more palatable to the west. This would be one way of doing that, it's just another thing that's arguably too soon after the driving ban and changing too much too fast is a surefire way to trigger the aforementioned coup.

So yeah when I say "they will probably change in the future" that's not just because of my ideals or whatever but because politically it makes a lot of sense for Saudi at this moment in time.
