WWE bosses have been forced to deny claims that nearly 200 wrestlers and crew were held 'hostage' by Saudi Arabia as they tried to leave the country in a row over an unpaid £390million bill. WWE launched in Saudi Arabia in 2014, with two to four shows a year in the desert kingdom. Joe Hennig posted a photo upon his return from Saudi Arabia and said: 'Not the #Top20 I'm #1 at home! In a statement it said: 'The WWE roster is delayed in its return from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following a historic performance at yesterday's record-breaking WWE Crown Jewel event. 'The remainder of WWE's Superstars, staff and crew will depart on a charter set to depart Saudi Arabia later tonight'.
