WWE has released Samoa Joe from his contract, according to Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful.com. Joe was previously released by the company in April. He was re-signed to work in NXT as a wrestler and a scout in June. He won the NXT Championship in August, then vacated the title in September due to illness or injury.
Powell’s POV: Again? The WWE rollercoaster ride continues for Joe. Fans who hoped to see him reunite with Bryan Danielson and CM Punk in AEW have at least some hope of that happening now that he’s been let go by WWE.
After his last injury who didn’t see this coming?
WWE really needs to stop releasing people and bringing them back, if you want someone gone release them and be done with them/let them move on.
@Jon T.–HHH brought back Joe as he’s the only one who realized the benefits of keeping him. It was only a matter of time before Joe was released since everything HHH touched is being erased from the WWE universe.
What benefits are there to keeping a 42-year-old guy who hasn’t been healthy for 5 years?
@TheGreatestOne–Training the younger guys.
