Having a private plane is a huge perk for any company that can actually afford one, especially if employees need to travel a lot.

In WWE, wrestlers are known to have to travel to different countries and states for their matches and promotional tours. Typically, on average, they must wrestle in three to four different cities a week. That’s a lot of traveling.

Because of all the traveling, they must do, WWE felt that it would be better if they had a personal plane. It has become a sort of a mystery though over the years.
