WWE stars and crew are set to jet off to the Middle East
next week for Friday Night Smackdown and Night of Champions
which are scheduled to take place from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia also happens to be smack in the middle between
two countries at war at the moment: Israel and Iran.
Night of Champions is pretty much sold out at the Kingdom
Arena and Smackdown the night before also has a healthy
number of tickets out.
WWE has so far not commented on the situation and as of this
moment, the shows are still set to go.
With the U.S. involvement in the bombing of Iran last night,
the situation might change however and the next few days
should paint a clearer picture of the crisis in the area. A
lot of air space in the region is also closed so if they
still decide to pursue the shows, those working the events
might have to sit on the plane for a little bit longer due
to detours to avoid the dangerous skies.
