Here’s Why Vince McMahon Left Saudi Arabia Before Everyone Else

There has been a lot of negativity aimed at WWE Chairman Vince McMahon following the drama in Saudi Arabia last week after it was revealed he had left the country before anyone else, leaving his superstars stranded.

Now it’s not secret that Vince has his own private jet and would therefore have been able to fly pretty much whenever he wanted, but it seems many are unhappy that the leader left his troops in battle.

However, Corey Graves has now spoken about what he believes took place in Saudi Arabia on his new “After the Bell” podcast.

“What really got to me was when the rumors started coming out. The first one being Mr McMahon — that Vince left everybody in Saudi Arabia. That’s not true and I’m gonna tell you why. If you work here you know that every week no matter where on the planet we are as soon as the final bell rings, as soon as it is made sure that all of the talent is okay — whoever’s in the last match — Vince gets on his jet and the guy goes home or to the next city because he’s busy running WWE.

“So it might be a sexy headline — Oh Vince left everybody — everybody was stuck except for Vince and Brock and whoever else had private chartered flights. When you’re Brock Lesnar you get certain perks. When you’re Tyson Fury and you’re the biggest star on earth you get your own jet. When you’re Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair — you’ve earned that, okay? So it wasn’t like he said to hell with the talent, to hell with the crew. Vince did exactly as he has done every week without fail.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be on the jet with him sometimes. That’s how business is done. It wasn’t a ‘gotta get the hell out of the country, there’s something crazy going on. It was exactly how it works. So I hate to break it to you guys. I hate to put a damper on your party, but that’s how things operate every week and this was no different.”

You know he’s telling the truth because this podcast is completely out of WWE’s control and he’s definitely going to say bad things about Vince if he wants.
