WWE Stars Hit With Travel Delays Before Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia

TLDR

WWE's charter flight to Saudi Arabia for the 2026 Royal Rumble was delayed seven hours due to inclement weather, but the flight eventually took off smoothly and all talent and staff landed safely in Riyadh. NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne has been rerouted from scheduled U.S. NXT house shows to travel to Saudi Arabia, with WWE also internally discussing Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, and AAA's Mr. Iguana as possible Royal Rumble participants. The Royal Rumble is set to take place January 31 at King Abdullah Financial District.
