Samoa Joe was released back in April by WWE but he could be headed back soon to the black and gold brand of NXT.
We previously reported that Samoa Joe had been in recently talks with WWE for a return on NXT and may have even already signed a new deal.
Joe was seen at the WWE Performance Center last week, making things even more interesting.
Triple H who was responsible for bringing Joe to the company back in 2015 was said to want to bring him back immediately following his release.
In the latest update on things we’ve learned at The Ringside Roster that Samoa Joe’s role on NXT is expected to be very open. The company is currently considering bringing him in as the new GM replacing William Regal with the idea that he could also wrestle at some point as well once he’s cleared to do so.
We’ll have to see when Joe shows up in NXT, but it certainly appears they’re setting up for his arrival sooner rather than later.
