Good news for everyone who has been worried since yesterday morning about the WWE Superstars and other employees who were unable to leave Saudi Arabia after Thursday’s Crown Jewel. WWE’s pre-Smackdown statement yesterday afternoon promised that they would leave for home last night, and we can now confirm that that’s what happened.
As reported by PWInsider, the flight was delayed by a couple of hours, but did take off. As of this writing, we’re still waiting to hear that it landed, but there’s no reason to anticipate further problems. Here are a few tweets that help establish the narrative.
