“Elimination Chamber,” World Wrestling Entertainment’s upcoming event in Australia, hit a snag in the Suez Canal that delayed the arrival of its ring setup by a month.

“Originally it was supposed to ship through the Suez Canal, but pirates ended those plans,” WWE commentator Michael Cole explained to fans in Perth, Australia. “So it was sent to Miami, transported via truck to Los Angeles, taken by ship to Sydney, and then by train to Perth.”
