Rhea Ripley lost her NXT Women's Championship to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36 on Sunday night. And based on the latest reports, she might not get the chance to contend for it again for a while. According to PWInsider "The Nightmare" had to travel back to Australia due to her work via expiring, which means she won't be around for the next set of NXT tapings that will reportedly take place later this week. On top of waiting for her visa to be renewed, she'll have to spend two weeks in isolation due to Australia's policies on people entering the country during the coronavirus pandemic.

The possibility of when she'll be able to return to the United States is also uncertain.

"Given the current state of the world, there is no known timetable for her return, but she given the different quarantines involved with international travel in each country, there is no real way for her to return in time for this week's scheduled NXT tapings in Florida, which will cover multiple episodes of the USA Network series," PWI's Mike Johnson wrote.

In her WrestleMania debut, Ripley tapped out to Flair's Figure Eight submission after a hard-fought match. Flair's next challenger will be the winner of the six-woman ladder match scheduled for this week's NXT, which will feature Candice LeRae, Io Shirai, Tegan Nox, Mia Yim, Dakota Kai and Chelsea Green.
