Unless you've been living under a rock or have just stopped watching the WWE product after Hell in a Cell, or have just taken a self-imposed break from the internet, you should know about the entire Saudi Arabia fiasco. It's easily the most talked-about topic on pro wrestling right now.

A majority of the WWE roster was left stranded in the Middle Eastern country after Crown Jewel as an Atlas Air flight that was supposed to get the talents back to States 'suffered a mechanical error.'

Dave Meltzer addressed the Saudi Arabia incident and provided many details about the backstage reaction of the talents involved.

Meltzer was told that many Superstars have outrightly stated that they will never go back to Saudi Arabia. He even revealed that a section of roster 'can't wait to get out of the company' but added that they could change their minds in a few months based on what happens with the product as a whole.

Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar and a few other top-tier talents returned to the United States in private jets just in time for SmackDown. However, a large section of the roster was held back and they couldn't make it time for the show on Friday.

The company made a few last-minute changes and what the fans got was one of the best SmackDown episodes in recent memory. NXT Superstars, led by Triple H and Shawn Michaels, invaded the Blue brand and were involved in various segments and matches throughout the show.

How will the Blue brand respond? That takes us to our next rumor...
