Details on some of the visa issues released WWE stars face (Patreon)

One of the major issues facing several recently released WWE talent is their visa issues. Many wrestlers aren't able to monetize their outside interests while in the States until they obtain a visa. Those that we've spoken to say that most of the wrestlers who aren't citizens are given their 90 days with their non-competes, plus 60 days before they have to return to their country, which gives them about five months in total to get things in order. The 90 days are because the performers are technically still contracted to WWE during that time, and the additional 60 is a grace period to find work or prepare. This has been a major point of concern for some wrestlers we've spoken to, even those who will be in demand.
