Rusev was recently interviewed by The Sun. During the interview, he spoke about the rumors that the WWE roster was held hostage in Saudi Arabia after the Crown Jewel PPV.
While the travel issues were going down, Rusev Tweeted that “we need all the prayers”. This raised the concern level of many fans.
Here is what Rusev said about what happened in Saudi Arabia and his Tweet:
“We were all ready to get out and we couldn’t.
“The frustration just grew by each hour and me asking for prayers is nothing new.
“My father is a pastor, I’m a believer in God, Jesus Christ, our saviour, so I always ask for prayers just because I wanted to go home, not because we were held hostage.
“I don’t think anyone in their rightful mind is going to hold 170 people, American citizens, hostage, I don’t think that’ll reflect well anywhere.”
Rusev was also asked if he will go back to Saudi Arabia for future PPV events in the country:
“I make a lot of money, I will definitely go back.
“I love it, I love every single trip that we do there, I love how we break barriers with women wrestling there and Lana being able to go.
