Rumor Roundup: Samoa Joe’s Potential Return Timeline, NXT Star Returns With A New Look, More

1) Samoa Joe’s Potential Return Timeline

Samoa Joe has been out of action for the past few months with a hand injury. WWE recently announced that Joe will remain on the RAW commentary team until he has been cleared to return to the ring.

So when will Joe be cleared to return?

According to a Reddit user, Joe won’t be back until the end of December at the earliest. Joe is set to be medically examined on December 30th prior to RAW. The hope is (obviously) that he is cleared to return during this examination.

This user has been perfect with their information, so they appear to have some sources in WWE. As a result, this seems to be an accurate timeline for Joe’s return.

My Take: I love Joe and can’t wait for him to be back. I would also love to see Joe pushed as a babyface when he returns. He is great as a heel but I think that babyface Joe could be a fun route to go.
