Samoa Joe was rumored to have signed a deal with the WWE and those rumors have been verified. Tonight at the NXT Takover event, live on the WWE Network, Samoa Joe made his NXT debut after the main event and got into the face of current NXT Champion Kevin Owens. The crowd chanted “Joe is gonna kill you” as Joe walked down the aisle towards the ring. Owens and Joe went face to face until Owens walked away saying, “Not today”.
The crowd absolutely loved it and it’s great to see that the WWE allowed Samoa Joe to keep his established name instead of try to change him to Joe Samo, or something ridiculous like that. Actually, Joe Samo isn’t bad. Looks like we see who Kevin Owens will be dropping the title too once he gets called up to the main WWE roster.
