Visa issues is preventing certain international WWE
Superstars from appearing on television according to Bryan
Alvarez of F4WOnline.com.
Alvarez noted how the company has been facing “significant”
issues in getting work visas squared away for their talent
and that is leading to prolonged absence from television.
Superstars such as Joe Hendry and Ilja Dragunov have not
appeared on television in quite a while and rumors are that
this is also related to talent getting their visas.
Non-U.S. talent must travel back to their home country and
apply for a working visa at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate,
and wait just like everybody else to get their appointment.
Getting a work visa is also not a guarantee, with the Trump
administration tightening certain rules.
WWE is not the only company facing these issues, with AEW
also looking at similar problems with some of their Mexican
talent.
