WWE released Samoa Joe in April after he lost his spot behind the announce desk. With him unable to wrestle, the decision was made to cut him for budgetary reasons. However, at Triple H’s behest, he would return to NXT due to the fear he’d sign with a competitor despite not being medically cleared to wrestle.
Now during an interview, the Samoan Submission Machine has been asked about whether he is working towards a return to the ring. He would simply reply saying, “Absolutely. We’ll just say yes and leave it at that.“
Clearly, Joe didn’t want to go into the specific details. Still, it sounds like his current concussion issues won’t be career-ending. His current role in NXT as an enforcer for General Manager William Regal allows him to remain a television character. At the same time, WWE can slowly build up the anticipation for when he can return to the ring with a match against possibly Karrion Kross or Adam Cole.
