Former two time WWE NXT Champion and Universal Championship challenger Samoe Joe recently did an interview with 102.5 The Bone’s Drew Garabo Live in Tampa Bay to talk about his journey through WWE. Joe is coming fresh off a great program with WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, which led to a great match between the pair at the WWE’s Great Balls Of Fire pay-per-view (PPV) earlier this month – which Joe went on to lose.
Joe discussed a number of professional wrestling topics during the interview, one being which talents he thinks WWE should sign from Ring Of Honor (ROH), where Joe used to perform before signing with WWE. Joe named Jay Lethal and Dalton Castle as his top candidates:
“A couple of dudes, Jay Lethal, I think, is one of them. He’s the kind of guy who can do any character, and do anything you put in front of him, he can kill it. And another guy I was just recently watching a lot of, God, I’m trying to remember, Dalton Castle. And I don’t know if you guys have seen his act, but it’s… I won’t even spoil it, if you just look up ‘Dalton Castle Entrance. A lot of guys in NXT are making their debuts in NXT, Bobby Fish, Kyle O’Reilly, and other are kind of the main ones.”
Joe also had a ton of praise for NXT Tag Team Champions Authors of Pain :
“He’s got a brand new tag team that’s very LOD-like. Yeah, they’re called The Authors Of Pain. They’re AOP and they’re basically, one was a former shoot fighter who was called ‘The Albanian Psycho’. Huge guy. The other one was an Olympic-Qualifying wrestler for Canada. They’re young and you’re going to be something special. Managed by ‘Precious’ Paul Ellering.”
