3) Samoa Joe’s Status

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Samoa Joe is not expected to miss a lot of action. This comes after he was stripped of the NXT Championship.

Here is what Johnson said:

Samoa Joe is not expected out of action for an extended period of time but there’s no word yet as to when he’ll be back.  We are told the decision to strip him was not a creative one but what was stated, WWE medical made the call, so the decision was made to strip Joe and crown a new champion tonight

My Take:

  • This is good news. Let’s hope that he is back very soon.
