5 possible directions for Samoa Joe following his WWE release - signs with AEW, risky decision involving his pro wrestling career

#4 Samoa Joe returns to the independent wrestling circuit

Samoa Joe would be welcomed in the indie circuit

Samoa Joe shares a long history with the independent wrestling circuit. He could return to that place to guide up-and-coming wrestlers. Joe has not competed inside the ring for a long time, and it will take him a while to regularly engage in matches. Spending some time in independent wrestling might help him find his groove once again.

He would also be a great coach for young wrestlers seeking to make a name in the business. From in-ring dominance to unmatched command on the mic, there’s a lot that one can learn from Samoa Joe. It would also give him more control over his work and how he wants to create his brand.

We have seen former WWE Superstars undergo a massive transformation after their release from the company. Some of them also return and climb to the top of the food chain, like Drew McIntyre. Although Samoa Joe is 42 years old, several examples show that he can also script a similar story for himself.
