Rumor Roundup: The Plans For Samoa Joe In NXT, Roman Reigns’ Booking, More

1) NXT Superstar To Receive Gimmick Change?

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), Kona Reeves is ready to return from injury. He has apparently been making some pitches for a significant character change for when he comes back.

Here is what Sapp wrote:

We’ve had a lot of inquiries for an update on Kona Reeves, who has been out of action for over 15 months following a surgery. We’re told he’s been back at the Performance Center for quite some time and is more than good to go, and has been making creative pitches for a significant character change based on what we’ve seen of him in the past. Reeves was briefly given a push in 2018 before being pushed back down the card, but we’ve had numerous guest coaches specifically point him out as someone they’ve enjoyed working with when they came in for spots at the Performance Center.

My Take:

  • I liked Kona Reeves but I wasn’t sure if the gimmick would work on the main roster. Looks like we could be seeing something completely different when he comes back.
