Visa issues preventing WWE talent from appearing on television

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.
