-- Former NXT champion Rhea Ripley has gone back to Australia and won't be on NXT TV this week, reports pwinsider.com. Ripley was forced to return to her home country as her work visa recently expired and she needs to go back there to initiate the process to renew it. With travel bans down all over the world and both Australia and the United States requiring visitors/residents to self-quarantine, her return date back to North America is completely up in the air. At least, she will miss this week's TV tapings which are supposed to carry WWE through several episodes of NXT. Given these recent developments, it's fair to wonder whether Ripley dropping the NXT title to Charlotte happened due to her impending absence.
