Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted the following regarding the WWE travel issues:
“The word making the rounds among talents still in Saudi Arabia is that a new flight has been arranged to take them from Riyadh to the United States around 3 AM local time tonight.”
As previously noted by WWE, the 2nd charter flight back to United States was delayed due to “unforeseen issues.” Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com commented on if there is another issue besides the planes:
Also, I heard nothing of it being politically motivated. This aspect is a rumor at this point
