3. Heath Slater Says He Still Doesn’t Know Why The WWE Crew Faced A Delayed Flight After Crown Jewel 2019
After the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia last year, the plane of the whole WWE crew was stopped for a number of hours for an unknown reason. Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman and only a few others made it out on time.
While speaking to WrestlingInc, former WWE wrestler Heath Slater spoke about the controversy, and said that he still doesn’t know the truth behind the whole incident.
Below is what Slater said:
“It’s one of those things where you are there and you know something’s up but you don’t know what’s up. But we all got out okay. I still don’t know the truth. I heard there were mechanical reasons and it was this and it was that. When I was on the plane, I fell asleep for five hours and when I woke up, I looked over at Hawkins. I’m like, ‘Where are we at’ and he says we haven’t even left yet.
That’s when I was like, ‘What the heck?’ We get off the plane and go over to the hotel. We wait and then get back on the plane and hope that we take off. We do but who knows? I really don’t know.
You go back to the hotel, get some food, hit the gym and go to sleep. You don’t really think about being uncomfortable because there’s nothing uncomfortable around you. You’re just in the hotel again. Everyone was really nice and friendly, but you don’t really know. That makes it even scarier sometimes [laughs].”
