3) Triple H’s Reaction To Samoa Joe’s Release
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Triple H was not happy when Samoa Joe was released by WWE.
Here is what the site wrote:
PWInsider.com is told that Triple H “snatched him back” as soon as possible. One source told PWInsider.com that the second a decision by others to “let Joe back on the board”, Triple H was not happy and wanted him back in NXT as opposed to being elsewhere outside of WWE’s auspices. Triple H was the point person responsible who initially brought Joe to WWE in 2015 for NXT and at one point, had even given him a pretty unique deal where he was able to continue working independent dates, although that later evolved into a more traditional deal.
My Take:
- Makes sense as Joe was a major part of NXT and is such a talented guy. Triple H probably wished he could have him back instead of him being let go.
2) WWE’s Return To Saudi Arabia
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE will likely be returning to Saudi Arabia for a PPV event in the fall.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
We are told by company sources that the early expectation is that they will finally return to Saudi Arabia this fall, but an official date has not been locked in yet.
The expectation is that they will run one event there before the end of the year.
My Take:
- Not surprising as WWE will want a big payday before the end of the year.
