According to a report from The Wrestling Observer (via SE Scoop), Mae Young Classic competitor and Canadian wrestling star Nicole Matthews has been banned from entering the United States for five years.
According to the report, this was due to Matthews not having a work visa in place before attempting to cross the border from her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia into Washington state from a few weeks back.
The former SHIMMER Champion took to Twitter to comment on the situation:
Timing, eh?
I’ll be fine, everyone. That’s all I’m going to say about the elephant in the room.— Nicole Matthews ?? (@nmatthewsninja) September 27, 2018
This week’s episode of the Mae Young Classic saw Matthews defeat Isla Dawn to advance to the second round to face Tegan Nox.
