According to sources ... WWE officials have been going back and forth with the Saudi General Sports Authority for the past few months trying to get a women's match approved.
While WWE hasn't received an official green light, we're told the two female wrestlers were flown to Jeddah with the hopes that it will be given before the show on Friday.
