Samoa Joe reportedly signed a new deal with WWE recently to make his return to the company after being released in April.
We previously reported at The Ringside Roster that Joe is expected to head to the black and gold brand of NXT. He’s set to takeover as the new GM replacing longtime authority figure William Regal and eventually wrestle once he’s cleared to do so.
We could see him replace Regal as soon as tonight after Regal teased stepping away from his role last week and has a big announcement scheduled for tonight’s show.
