According to Heathrow airport's website (https://www.heathrowairport.com/), UK airspace will remain closed until 1AM Monday, local time. That's 8PM Eastern Sunday. It's about a 6 or 7 hour flight.
Matt Hardy tweeted that the SmackDown! roster had made it back to the US at about 1AM this morning. He also gave some insight into the travel that the crew had gone through:
"Here's the deal-Wake up at 6 am Fri morn, prep, travel, & catch a train at 11 am (5 hrs) Uncomfortable train ride from Hannover, Germany to get the ONLY bus that would take us to Madrid, Spain (24 hrs) spent 18 torturous hours on that bus (42 hrs) to barely make our flight to the States which took almost 10 hrs (52 hrs) Clear customs, get to hotel and a bed took about 2 hrs (54 hrs total) Top that travel story guys!"
