Concerns over WWE’s upcoming Night of Champions event arose after Saudi Arabia closed its airspace to civilian flights due to regional tensions. This led to speculation that WWE personnel were stranded and unable to reach the country.
A report from Pwinsider indicates the situation is not as disruptive as rumored. Most WWE personnel have been in Saudi Arabia for over a week, with production setup already underway.
However, five WWE staff members were reportedly caught by the airspace closure while awaiting a connecting flight at Doha Airport in Qatar. WWE has not issued an official statement, but preparations for the event are said to be continuing.
