Vader has been in the news recently by criticizing a match between high-flyers Ricochet and Will Ospreay a couple weeks ago on Twitter. The twitter ‘war’ turned into a real match as it was announced that he will take on Will Ospreay in August for Revolution Pro Wrestling. He is in the news again after posting a random tweet teasing a match in NXT.
Here was the tweet from his twitter account:
Man I can’t believe @SamoaJoe and @itsvadertime are going to finally battle it out on @WWENXT pic.twitter.com/7Nibfs7E8v

Samoa Joe vs Vader in NXT? I am pretty sure this is just him trolling trying to use social media to his advantage (like what got him a match against Ospreay). He is 61 but still wrestles for various promotions around the world.
I think this would actually be pretty cool to see. Both him and Samoa Joe are hard hitting guys and it would be a fun little match for NXT TV. I am having some doubts that this is real though based on his past on Twitter and how he is the only one tweeting about it. I thought I would share though and see what you guys thought!
Let us know your take on this. Is this real? Is this just him trolling us? Would you like to see this match???
