WWE’s travel arrangements for Crown Jewel 2026 have been in the news following the missile attack in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. New details have now clarified how the roster travelled to and from the country.
Earlier reports suggested WWE talent avoided Riyadh International Airport. However, a new report from PWInsider has disputed those claims. The majority of the roster reportedly travelled through Bahrain before reaching Riyadh.
According to PWInsider, most WWE talent and personnel flew into Bahrain before Crown Jewel. They then travelled to Riyadh by bus. The journey reportedly took approximately five to six hours. PWInsider clarified the earlier reports about the airport arrangements.
The return journey followed a different arrangement. Instead of taking another lengthy bus ride, WWE talent flew from Riyadh to Bahrain. They then transferred to a flight heading directly to the United States.
The latest information also clears up confusion surrounding Riyadh International Airport. WWE reportedly did use the airport during the return journey. Therefore, claims that the company completely avoided it were inaccurate.
The WWE stars had already left Saudi Arabia before the missile attack. However, some production employees may have remained behind to dismantle the arena setup. There have been no reports of WWE personnel being affected.
The company also needed its talent back in the United States as WWE RAW was scheduled for November 9 in Greenville, South Carolina. The latest details provide a clearer picture of WWE’s travel arrangements.
