Nov. 1 (UPI) -- WWE announced on Friday that its roster has experienced flight delays in Saudi Arabia, causing the company to change plans for tonight's edition of Smackdown.
"More than 175 superstars, production crew and employees boarded a 747 charter flight back to the United States on Thursday. After the doors closed, due to several aircraft problems including mechanical issues, all passengers sat on the tarmac for more than six hours," WWE said in a statement.
