10 WWE In Saudi Arabia Moments That Were Actually Good

10. NXT Invades SmackDown

Look, this didn't happen in Saudi Arabia, but it was the result of what happened in Saudi Arabia. Also, finding ten good things about these shows was a stretch.

When attempting to return from Crown Jewel 2019, most of the WWE roster discovered that they couldn't take leave because their plane was suffering from "mechanical problems". These "problems" have been heavily disputed with many claiming the wrestlers were essentially being held hostage because of an argument between Vince McMahon and The Crown Prince over money. Either way, it was messy.

With most of their talent stranded overseas, WWE had to think of something to fill that evening's episode of SmackDown. With their backs against the wall, WWE threw a Hail Mary and booked an NXT invasion of the show. Stars from The Black and Gold Brand ran roughshod over the episode and challenged Raw and SmackDown at Survivor Series. Fans even got an NXT Championship match between Adam Cole and Daniel Bryan.

Obviously the roster being trapped in Saudi Arabia was terrible, but at least this excellent episode of TV came from what could have been a very dark situation.
