Samoa Joe remains one of the most popular WWE Superstars to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. Samoa Joe was fired back in April as part of the COVID-19 budget cuts and this shocked the pro wrestling world.
Thankfully, Samoa Joe would finally make his return to NXT earlier this month, where he was offered to become the new NXT General manager, but turned down the offer. Samoa Joe then became William Regal’s new enforcer.
While speaking on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast, Samoa Joe discussed his WWE release and getting hired back. Joe already revealed how Triple wasted no time in expressing his desire to hire Joe back.
Samoa Joe was then asked if he was working towards a return to the squared circle, to which the Samoan Submission Machine simply said that he ‘absolutely’ is doing just that.
“Absolutely. We’ll just say yes and leave it at that.”
Samoa Joe has not competed inside the squared circle since February of last year and has largely worked as part of the Monday Night RAW commentary team before his release. We will have to see when he will be making his in-ring return.
