It was reported today that Saudi Arabia has shut down airspace to civilian flights due to the ongoing situation involving Iran, Israel and The United States.
This has led to rumors that WWE staff are stranded in Qatar and not able to get to Saudi Arabia, therefore WWE cannot set up for Night of Champions.
Here is the actual reality:
*WWE staffers have been in Saudi since the week of 6/9.
*Additional production staff have been arriving regularly since that time and setup has been underway for at least a week.
*That said, there are five WWE staffers currently stuck in Qatar at Dohar Airport. PWInsider.com is told they were waiting for a connecting flight to Saudi Arabia after landing in Qatar.
WWE has not commented on the status of the event. We are told that as of today, setup has continued as per schedule.
