Seven years after more than 100 WWE wrestlers and staff were stranded in Saudi Arabia following a 2019 event, two former WWE executives have provided new details about the incident. The revelations come in the latest episode of "Conrad's Corner," hosted by Conrad Thompson.

The episode also includes fresh reporting on the future of longtime WWE executive Bruce Prichard, as well as news of a surprising injury affecting an unnamed performer.

The original travel disruption occurred after WWE's Crown Jewel event in Riyadh in October 2019, when mechanical issues and diplomatic tensions delayed the departure of the company's charter flight.
