WWE Dealing With Significant Visa Issues (WWE News)
Ongoing visa problems could affect WWE's talent roster going forwards.
Triple H has another headache he definitely doesn't need.
The Wrestling Observer's Bryan Alvarez reports that WWE faces "significant visa issues" going forwards. They're not the only ones - AEW chief Tony Khan is juggling the prospect of Komander and The Beast Mortos being unable to wrestle in the United States due to their own paperwork. That's been problematic when the latter is one half of the ROH Tag-Team Champs alongside Sammy Guevara.
Previously, the Observer had noted that WWE tried to lock down various AAA workers to full-time deals so they could fly in for dates in the US when needed. There hasn't been much of an update on that, and it looks like the old visa heartache will resurface again soon.
That's a bummer.
Triplemania 2026 is set to take place across 2 nights this September. The first card goes down in Las Vegas on 11 September, and the second one is in Mexico City on 13 September. WWE bosses will be working overtime to make sure everyone needed has clearance to appear in Vegas, because it'd be pretty embarrassing for the company if they have to serve up a sparse card or use folks from Raw, SmackDown or NXT to plug gaps.
That remains to be seen, but it will be a concern for those within WWE (including TKO execs, Triple H, The Undertaker and more). Admittedly, Alvarez reporting that "significant issues" are ahead doesn't sound too promising.
Fingers crossed this can all be ironed out before September, but also in general so it doesn't have a negative impact on the roster at large.
