Zaria Says Visa Issues Delayed Her Arrival In The US After Signing With WWE In 2024

Zaria reflects on her arrival in the United States after signing with WWE in 2024.

Following her tryout with WWE at Elimination Chamber 2024 week in Australia, Zaria would be picked up by WWE and would report to NXT in August of the same year, however, the former member of ZaRuca has confirmed that visa issues delayed her arrival.

While speaking to Gerard Whateley in an interview prior to last week’s edition of WWE NXT,  Zaria was asked about her transition from living at home in Australia to moving to the US in 2024, noting that visa issues delayed her arrival.

“I didn’t move to Orlando until August of 2024, and I had my tryout, I believe it was the beginning of February of 2024. So I thought I would have to have moved in June or July, but there were like some visa issues. So it gave me a little bit longer to be in Australia. So, I had about, what is that? Like four or five months where I was able to just sort of wrap things up in Australia and just wrap my head around the fact that I’d be living in America in the WWE.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Zaria spoke about her brother inspiring her to get into pro wrestling. You can read more about that here.
