It appears that Samoa Joe could be headed back to NXT, according to a new report based on what talent have heard.
Fightful Select reported today that talent and staff have heard NXT officials were interested in bringing back Joe, who was released back in April due to budget cuts, to work on the black and yellow brand.
It should be noted that there have been several wrestlers that people in the company have pushed to bring back. The word going around is the interest on NXT’s side is for Joe to be back in a wrestling role.
Some talent in the company think this is going to happen, but only time will tell.
Joe originally worked in NXT back in 2015 where he had great success as a two-time NXT champion in addition to winning the 2015 NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. He was called up to the main roster in 2017 and ended up winning the WWE United States Title twice.
He was ultimately moved to the Raw announce team due to a history of concussions. He last worked a match in February 2020 on Raw when he teamed with The Viking Raiders and Kevin Owens for an eight-man tag team match against Seth Rollins, Buddy Murphy and AOP.
