Tegan Nox Comments on Lack of Wrestling Since Her WWE Release

As noted before, Tegan Nox was released from WWE this past November as part of a larger batch of talent releases at the time.

A recent episode of the Sappenin podcast had Nox as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Nox revealing that visa-related issues are the reason why she has been unable to wrestle in the United States since her release from WWE.

“Basically, because I haven’t gotten the visa or green card, I can’t wrestle. I keep getting messages, ‘Have you retired?’ No, I just can’t. Legally, I can’t. I’ve just been chilling, in the house, playing video games. I went to Sad Summer Fest a couple of weeks ago, which was phenomenal. Just chilling with my dogs and friends. Usual stuff that I can do without working.”
