The biggest story coming out of Crown Jewel is the fiasco surrounding WWE Superstars being stranded in Saudi Arabia and missing SmackDown.

While the initial reports stated that the reason behind the delay was 'mechanical failure' of the plane, there have been multiple sources that have reported that the reason was, in fact, something else entirely.

Some reports have stated that the plane was being stalled as a result of Vince McMahon having an altercation due to non-payment. While such reports may or may not be true, one thing is certain that it wasn't a mere mechanical failure that caused the situation.

Many Superstars who were stranded in Saudi Arabia have vented on Twitter and voiced their unhappiness with the company. Superstars like Luke Harper and Curtis Axel have been blunt about their displeasure with the way things have gone.

Andrade, Karl Anderson, and Buddy Murphy among others have hinted at never wanting to return. Karl Anderson's wife has even alleged that the Superstars were being held 'hostage'.
