She would know best. Over the weekend, WrestleMania 36 saw several memorable moments take place, many of which changes the directions of wrestlers involved. Many of these involved title changes, which can make for some interesting paths going forward. One of them was a little surprising, but an explanation came out as a result. Now though, that explanation needs an update.

WrestleMania 36 Night Two opened with Charlotte defeating Rhea Ripley to become the new NXT Women’s Champion. The title change was quite the surprise as Ripley had become one of the bigger stars in NXT, including a major win to take the title from Shayna Baszler. Then Charlotte just beat her, which made some fans think something might be up. As it turns out, that may not have been the case.

On Tuesday, reports emerged that Ripley had returned to her native Australia due to her work visa expiring in the United States. However, Ripley responded to the rumors on Wednesday, sending out a video showing that she is still in America. There is no word on whether or not her visa has expired, or what this would mean for her current status with NXT.

It’s been a long way. Check out Ripley’s response, plus how she got here:

Opinion: I’m not sure what to make of this but it seems like there might have just been an incorrect report. Ripley may be having issues with her visa and if she is (and that is a big if), it doesn’t matter where she is if she can’t wrestle. Hopefully she can be back in the ring sooner rather than later, because Ripley has become one of the best performers in both NXT and WWE in a short time.

What is next for Ripley? Will she get the title back? Let us know in the comments below.
