According to a recent report from Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer forum, Rhea Ripley is still reportedly in Orlando, despite initial reports that said she was back in Australia after her Work Visa expired.
Early reports suggested that Ripley was in Australia and that the Visa expiring was the reason behind her NXT Women’s Championship loss at WrestleMania 36. However, Meltzer’s report suggests that Flair simply won because she would have help NXT boost their ratings.
As far Ripley’s whereabouts, Meltzer noted that she was still in Orlando., and her Instagram stories seem to suggest that to be true. Currently, it’s unknown whether or not Ripley will be on future broadcasts, as her Visa expiring could be true, but due to the many issues concerning COVID-19, she is unable to leave the country just yet. We’ll be sure to update the story as it continues.
