Samoa Joe’s next feud for the NXT Championship will be Bobby Roode.
A series of matches were held at tonight’s NXT tapings to determine a new #1 contender – Tye Dillinger over Eric Young by DQ, Roderick Strong over Elias Samson, Roode over Oney Lorcan and Andrade Almas over No Way Jose. Those 4 Superstars then competed in a Fatal 4 Way to determine Joe’s opponent. That Fatal 4 Way is expected to air on 12/21.
This has not been confirmed but it appears Joe vs. Roode will take place on 1/28 during Royal Rumble weekend in San Antonio at TakeOver.
Bobby Roode is the next high-profile feud for Samoa Joe, but it’s worth noting that former NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura will get a chance to reclaim his title this weekend when he challenges Samoa Joe at the NXT live event from Osaka, Japan.
