In an interview with The Sun, Rusev confirmed the reality of what had happened and the reason for his controversial tweet.

Rusev reveals the reason behind his controversial tweet

When WWE’s flight was delayed, resulting in several Superstars missing the SmackDown show the following day, Rusev’s tweet asking for ‘all the prayers’ sparked some fear among the fans about their situation in Saudi Arabia.

He revealed in the interview that his tweet had more to do with his belief in God and not because WWE Superstars were being held as hostages.

He went on to talk about the situation there, and why the belief that they were being held as hostages was unreasonable.

Finally, addressing whether or not he would go back to Saudi Arabia, he joked he would if the money was right. He went on to say why those trips were important to him.

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see how Rusev’s storyline with Bobby Lashley and Lana goes ahead.
