AJ Styles provides clarification
Former WWE Champion AJ Styles has now shared his thoughts on the incident on his Mixer stream. Here's a breakdown of what Styles said on the stream:
The WWE crew was scheduled to leave after the show, but wasn't allowed to board the flight. Styles heard that a fuel truck was on the plane's way and the driver was nowhere in sight. Styles added that he agrees this doesn't make much sense. There were also some paperwork issues, which were sorted and the crew boarded the plane, but then another problem surfaced. Styles talked to the pilot later when the plane was airborne, and he was told that they had faced a mechanical issue.
The delay resulted in wrestlers staying at a hotel, where Styles "had the best sleep of his life".
"We’ll find out as we go along why things happened or we won’t. I don’t know what’s gonna happen going forward. It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be. And If I did find out and I was offended, I would go to the source. Believe me on that one."
