Rusev on what happened in Saudi Arabia

At this point and time We need all the prayers... brother.

Rusev was among the WWE Superstars who were stuck in Saudi Arabia after their pay-per-view in Riyadh last month. He was also one of the few who posted a cryptic tweet about it and was asked by a media outlet in the United Kingdom about the same.

With so many rumors going around about what had happened in the Middle East, Rusev poured cold water on all the fake news about them being held hostage. He said:

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.
