WWE taped the December 23rd episode of Monday Night RAW in advance. As a result, spoilers are starting to float around from the episode (you can read all of the RAW spoilers here).
During this taping, we found out more about the return of Samoa Joe, who is currently out of action with a hand injury. Warning, the rest of this post will feature spoilers for RAW next week.
During the taping, Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins ended via disqualification. After the match, AOP and Seth Rollins tried to put Rey Mysterio through the announce table. There was one big problem. Samoa Joe would not move away from the commentary desk for them.
AOP ended up attacking Joe and putting him through the announce table to close the show:

This is obviously a major hint that Joe’s first feud back from injury will be against Seth Rollins and AOP. Since he took a bump, this also appears to hint that Joe could be returning as a full-time Superstar by the end of December.
