Despite the fact that he has signed a new full-time deal with WWE, Samoa Joe is still scheduled to team with AJ Styles to take on Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels at the Ring Of Honor television taping in New York City. According to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, however, WWE has been pushing very hard for that match to not be taped for television, which was the original plan before Joe signed his new WWE deal. As of right now, the belief is that the match will not be taped for the ROH television show.
It’s said that ROH wanted Joe for more dates, but their new national cable television deal with Destination America is one of the factors that led to WWE offering Joe a full-time deal, which will likely prevent Joe from doing so.
Samoa Joe is no longer taking independent dates past August 31st, as he is scheduled to begin working in NXT full-time in September. Until then, Joe will be working the big NXT live events and any other WWE Network specials.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a name change for Samoa Joe and a main roster spot are reportedly still up in the air.
Another big deciding factor behind WWE bringing Samoa Joe in full-time to work in NXT is because of the perceived lack of depth of high-profile stars in the promotion. With Kevin Owens moving up to the main roster, and other top stars such as Sami Zayn and Hideo Itami on the sidelines, WWE felt the need to bring in another high-profile name to the NXT brand.

I really thought Paige would've pulled twin magic and dress as Summer Rae, blonde wig and all. WHAT was the PURPOSE of Nikki Vs Summer in basically a squash match? How did this add to Nikki and Paige??!?

There is no official word yet from the WWE, but it appears Tyson Kidd's wrestling career is done for good. On RAW 6/1/15 in the AT&T Center, on a Pre-RAW dark match, the former TNA star, Samoa Joe made his official WWE debut against Tyson Kidd. The finish of the match saw Joe using his trademark muscle buster move on Tyson, slamming him neck first on the mat with force before Pin-fall. At first what appeared to be mild injury, turned out to be a very serious spinal damage. WWE has been unusually quiet about the injury leading to further speculation that this could be potentially career ending for Tyson.

Is this true?

Can this feud with Naomi and the Bellas end already.

[Greengoblin782]

18 minutes into RAW and I want to shut it off. Hopefully it picks up from here.

That opening segment was brutal to get through. Much like anything to do with Rollins lately
