Samoa Joe announced on Sunday night via Twitter that he will not be able to compete for the time being due to “certain injuries” and it’s undetermined how long he will be out of action for. As a result, Joe relinquished the NXT Championship but vowed to return and “recollect” what is his.

Does that mean he will be returning to Raw to take over the commentary booth again?? Because that's where is WWE career seems to be at anymore. I can't see Vince wanting to keep Joe wrestling. I mean, he was okay with Joe being let go back in April. He comes back thanks to Triple H, wins the NXT Title and then gets injured and has to give it up. No way is Vince gonna be behind Samoa Joe now. Take a look back at the career of Ahmed Johnson to see how Vince deals with guys he wanted to push but kept getting injured.

traditionally vince has loved big samoan wrestlers too, so we'll wait and see how it plays out. i hope joe does get used to his full potential though, which imo is not yet behind the commentary booth.
i would not be the least bit angry at getting samoa joe/punk 4 though, and then them teaming up a handful of times.

Not to say that Ahmed’s injuries didnt play a factor into his pushes ending but he had a TON of more backstage problems keeping him from the top regardless of injury status

Look at Joes age and body of work. That dude went 100% most of his career. Act like he’s “injury prone” and not like time and his career aren’t the main factors here.
“He’s the new Ahmed Johnson!” Ahmed wrestled a fraction of the time Joe has and not nearly on the same level.

That's true. Ahmed Johnson was way better in the ring than Samoa Joe.

I'd like to see a list of Joe's injuries whilst in WWE. Some of them have been undisclosed too.
Are these actual injuries or just something that medical won't pass him on or something

I feel like Samoa Joe would get injured from a bad dream.

I feel like Samoa Joe would get injured from a bad dream. There's a difference between not being medically cleared by WWE doctors and not being cleared by normal, non-cult doctors. It sounds like he's not cleared by WWE.

I feel for Samoa Joe. Every time he seems to be getting back on track he gets hurt and it derails him again. It sucks but I understand why WWE has often been hesitant to push him as a world champion. I love Joe and I was hoping this NXT Title run would be a big boost to his career like it was for Finn Balor. We'll see what becomes of it down the road.

Does no one else see the possible connection between this Wednesday being the launch of the "new" NXT (vince/Pritchard version without "indie" guys) and Samoa Joe who vince sacked not long ago suddenly getting an "injury" and vacating the belt?? I just can't see vince launching a new version with someone he doesn't like and already sacked this year as champ It's waaaay to much of a coincidence to me. If ur gonna relaunch it this is the easy way to do it and then joe can get a rematch and put over the new champ like vince wants.
I guess we'll know more if Knight wins it over the other 3 "indie"/triple h old nxt type guys

This smacks of being a gimmick injury.

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that Samoa Joe is not injured.

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that Samoa Joe is not injured. Most likely going back to the main roster during the draft because of the NXT Revamp starting tonight and versus having him lose and make it obvious that that’s the plan, they probably think this is the better route so it’s more surprising when he shows up
