WWE reportedly took private jets and a charter flight to Saudi Arabia for today’s Crown Jewel event.
Several superstars flew from San Francisco on a British Airways chartered flight earlier this week, according to Ringside News. They had a two-hour layover in London, where they had to remove all carry-on bags from the plane, and then return directly on the same plane.
Then WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar flew on their private jet. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos also took their own plane. We noticed before How Undertaker was in Saudi Arabia this week as he opened a pitbull party on Wednesday, which was held to kick off the 2021 Riyadh Season Festival. Taker reportedly flew on his private jet, and WWE Producer Feet Finlay traveled with him.
It is possible that the Saudis have covered some of the flights as they have done in the past with names like Lesnar.
The WWE crew will have a quick turnaround from the trip to the kingdom as some of the superstars have to fly back to the US for Friday’s SmackDown at Entrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.
