I’m equally happy to be writing a headline like that as I am sad that such a headline is something worth writing at all.
WWE had every reason to cancel or move its Crown Jewel premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, considering repeated missile strikes on airports in the weeks leading up to the show. Executives at TKO held fast, making clear along the way that it was a “balancing act” between profits and the safety of those who work for the company.
Pretty gross stuff!
The show went off without
a hitch, thankfully, and now PW Insider reports that while there was another missile attack in Riyadh most of the WWE crew were “long gone before the attack happened.” The staff who remained were apparently not affected.
Insider also reported much of the WWE crew flew into a neighboring country and then traveled to the venue via bus while a few others flew private.
Finally, they brought definitive word reporting that WWE talents touched down today in South Carolina. Monday Night Raw this week emanates from Greenville.
