Actual pirates delayed the WWE Elimination Chamber transport plans as the wrestling company journeyed to Perth, Australia.

As the WWE Elimination Chamber Press Event kicked off tonight (February 22), an intriguing detail was noted in the opening package.

While describing the tribulations going into making the trek to Perth, Australia for the event, a wild real world story.

Michael Cole said:

“A structure which took over a month to get here. Originally it was supposed to ship through the Suez Canal, but pirates ended those plans. So it was sent to Miami, transported via truck to Los Angeles, taken by ship to Sydney, and then by train to Perth.”

Elsewhere on the Elimination Chamber press event, Grayson Waller appeared in his home country in front of a delighted crowd of Australian WWE fans.

Cheering the normally heelish character of Waller, even he pointed out how he wasn’t used to receiving such a reception.
