Aleister Black has become a popular star in WWE since his debut back in 2016, but many fans forget that the former NXT Champion is originally from Holland.
This means that when he was initially signed by WWE more than five years ago, he had to obtain a visa before he could work in the country. According to reports, it took Black more than four months to be able to complete the paperwork and then finally make his debut with WWE as part of their NXT brand.
This also meant that he had to move to the United States from Holland and bring all of his belongings over with him.
It's currently unknown how his WWE release will affect his current work visa or if Black will make the choice to return to Holland. Of course, given the fact that Black married fellow former WWE star and American citizen Zelina Vega back in 2018, he is now able to remain in the United States without needing a work visa.
