#3. Unhappy WWE Superstars
The talents who had to go through the forgettable ordeal in Saudi Arabia aren't happy.
As revealed by Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, many talents who travelled for Crown Jewel do not intend to go back to the Middle East ever again.
There were many Superstars who also 'couldn't wait to get out of the company'.
It was added that the Superstars who want to quit WWE on the heels of their Saudi Arabian experience could change their minds in the coming months.
Meltzer said:
“I’ve had people say they are never gonna go back. I’ve had people say they can’t wait to get out of the company. I don’t know if that’s going to…maybe in a couple of months they’re gonna change their mind. I don’t know if something is gonna happen at RAW when the RAW talent is all there.”
#4. The truth about Superstars trying to organize a separate charter to get back in time
WWE was quick to release a statement to address the situation in Saudi Arabia before the most recent episode of SmackDown.
As part of the statement, WWE mentioned that a section of the roster tried to get a separate charter to get back in time for SmackDown. 12 Superstars and 8 production crew workers were said to be working towards getting a separate plane to get back for SmackDown, however, it didn't logistically go according to plan.
More than 175 Superstars, production crew and employees boarded a 747 charter flight back to the United States on Thursday. After the door closed, due to several aircraft problems including mechanical issues, all passengers sat on the tarmac for more than six hours. With SmackDown set to emanate live from Buffalo, N.Y., several Superstars felt so strongly that they arranged for their own separate charter in order to make it back to the U.S. for the show. Due to unforeseen issues, that charter will not land until after the live broadcast on FOX.
Dave Meltzer quashed the claim as b******* and stated that the talents never really tried to push for their own travel arrangements.
